Did you know that when you conduct research using AiiDA, you can host the generated data for free on the Materials Cloud Archive (MCA)? By doing so, you make your data available to the research community at large, offload the responsibility of long-term data storage, and allow users to explore it with MCA’s built-in provenance explorer.
Exploring AiiDA Databases

New AiiDA users may find themselves excited to explore scientific data generated through AiiDA (in the form of an exported AiiDA database — an AiiDA archive), but might not know how to. Therefore, in this blog post, we illustrate how data can be explored systematically for an AiiDA database published on the Materials Cloud Archive, titled “Two-dimensional materials from high-throughput computational exfoliation of experimentally known compounds”. This database contains a collection of two-dimensional materials, and, for a select subset, it includes calculated values of various properties, such as electronic band structures and their associated band gaps.
