Adds one layer to a target material’s stack. The layer_id sets the layer position, and sample_id links the layer to its parent target material.
​
layer_id
integer
required
Layer position within the stack
​
sample_id
integer
ID of the parent target material
​
composition_string
string
Chemical composition of the layer (e.g., BaTiO3)
​
element_dict
object
Element counts or fractions that make up the layer
​
orientation
string
Crystallographic orientation of the layer
​
space_group
string
Space group of the layer
​
mp_id
string
Materials Project ID for the layer material
​
id
integer
Explicit record ID for the layer
