Updates one layer of a target material. Identify the layer by its parent target material (sample_id) and position (layer_id), and send the fields you want to change.
​
layer_id
integer
required
Layer position within the stack (used to identify the layer)
​
sample_id
integer
ID of the parent target material (used to identify the layer)
​
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
