We present a novel deep learning (DL) approach to produce highly accurate predictions of macroscopic physical properties of solid solution binary alloys and magnetic systems. The major idea is to make use of the correlations between different physical properties in alloy systems to improve the prediction accuracy of neural network (NN) models. We use multitasking NN models to simultaneously predict the total energy, charge density and magnetic moment. These physical properties mutually serve as constraints during the training of the multitasking NN, resulting in more reliable DL models because multiple physics properties are correctly learned by a single model. Two binary alloys, copper-gold (CuAu) and iron-platinum (FePt), were studied. Our results show that once the multitasking NNs are trained, they can estimate the material properties for a specific configuration hundreds of times faster than first-principles density functional theory calculations while retaining comparable accuracy. We used a simple measure based on the root-mean-squared errors (RMSE) to quantify the quality of the NN models, and found that the inclusion of charge density and magnetic moment as physical constraints leads to more stable models that exhibit improved accuracy and reduced uncertainty for the energy predictions.

Material scientists are increasingly adopting the use of machine learning (ML) for making potentially important decisions, such as, discovery, development, optimization, synthesis and characterization of materials. However, despite MLs impressive performance in commercial applications, several unique challenges exist when applying ML in materials science applications. In such a context, the contributions of this work are twofold. First, we identify common pitfalls of existing ML techniques when learning from underrepresented/imbalanced material data. Specifically, we show that with imbalanced data, standard methods for assessing quality of ML models break down and lead to misleading conclusions. Furthermore, we found that the models own confidence score cannot be trusted and model introspection methods (using simpler models) do not help as they result in loss of predictive performance (reliability-explainability trade-off). Second, to overcome these challenges, we propose a general-purpose explainable and reliable machine-learning framework. Specifically, we propose a novel pipeline that employs an ensemble of simpler models to reliably predict material properties. We also propose a transfer learning technique and show that the performance loss due to models simplicity can be overcome by exploiting correlations among different material properties. A new evaluation metric and a trust score to better quantify the confidence in the predictions are also proposed. To improve the interpretability, we add a rationale generator component to our framework which provides both model-level and decision-level explanations. Finally, we demonstrate the versatility of our technique on two applications: 1) predicting properties of crystalline compounds, and 2) identifying novel potentially stable solar cell materials.
The need for advanced materials has led to the development of complex, multi-component alloys or solid-solution alloys. These materials have shown exceptional properties like strength, toughness, ductility, electrical and electronic properties. Current development of such material systems are hindered by expensive experiments and computationally demanding first-principles simulations. Atomistic simulations can provide reasonable insights on properties in such material systems. However, the issue of designing robust potentials still exists. In this paper, we explore a deep convolutional neural-network based approach to develop the atomistic potential for such complex alloys to investigate materials for insights into controlling properties. In the present work, we propose a voxel representation of the atomic configuration of a cell and design a 3D convolutional neural network to learn the interaction of the atoms. Our results highlight the performance of the 3D convolutional neural network and its efficacy in machine-learning the atomistic potential. We also explore the role of voxel resolution and provide insights into the two bounding box methodologies implemented for voxelization.
Uncertainty quantification in Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based predictions of material properties is of immense importance for the success and reliability of AI applications in material science. While confidence intervals are commonly reported for machine learning (ML) models, prediction intervals, i.e., the evaluation of the uncertainty on each prediction, are seldomly available. In this work we compare 3 different approaches to obtain such individual uncertainty, testing them on 12 ML-physical properties. Specifically, we investigated using the Quantile loss function, machine learning the prediction intervals directly and using Gaussian Processes. We identify each approachs advantages and disadvantages and end up slightly favoring the modeling of the individual uncertainties directly, as it is the easiest to fit and, in most cases, minimizes over-and under-estimation of the predicted errors. All data for training and testing were taken from the publicly available JARVIS-DFT database, and the codes developed for computing the prediction intervals are available through JARVIS-Tools.
Atomistic modeling of energetic disorder in organic semiconductors (OSCs) and its effects on the optoelectronic properties of OSCs requires a large number of excited-state electronic-structure calculations, a computationally daunting task for many OSC applications. In this work, we advocate the use of deep learning to address this challenge and demonstrate that state-of-the-art deep neural networks (DNNs) are capable of predicting the electronic properties of OSCs at an accuracy comparable with the quantum chemistry methods used for generating training data. We extensively investigate the performances of four recent DNNs (deep tensor neural network, SchNet, message passing neural network, and multilevel graph convolutional neural network) in predicting various electronic properties of an important class of OSCs, i.e., oligothiophenes (OTs), including their HOMO and LUMO energies, excited-state energies and associated transition dipole moments. We find that SchNet shows the best performance for OTs of different sizes (from bithiophene to sexithiophene), achieving average prediction errors in the range of 20-80meV compared to the results from (time-dependent) density functional theory. We show that SchNet also consistently outperforms shallow feed-forward neural networks, especially in difficult cases with large molecules or limited training data. We further show that SchNet could predict the transition dipole moment accurately, a task previously known to be difficult for feed-forward neural networks, and we ascribe the relatively large errors in transition dipole prediction seen for some OT configurations to the charge-transfer character of their excited states. Finally, we demonstrate the effectiveness of SchNet by modeling the UV-Vis absorption spectra of OTs in dichloromethane and a good agreement is observed between the calculated and experimental spectra.
The phase diagram of oxygen is investigated for pressures from 50 to 130~GPa and temperatures up 1200 K using first principles theory. A metallic molecular structure with the $P6_3/mmc$ symmetry ($eta^{}$ phase) is determined to be thermodynamically stable in this pressure range at elevated temperatures above the $epsilon$(${O_8}$) phase. Long-standing disagreements between theory and experiment for the stability of $epsilon$(${O_8}$), its metallic character, and the transition pressure to the $zeta$ oxygen phase are resolved. Crucial for obtaining these results are the inclusion of anharmonic lattice dynamics effects and accurate calculations of exchange interactions in the presence of thermal disorder.
