Machine learning (ML) of quantum mechanical properties shows promise for accelerating chemical discovery. For transition metal chemistry where accurate calculations are computationally costly and available training data sets are small, the molecular representation becomes a critical ingredient in ML model predictive accuracy. We introduce a series of revised autocorrelation functions (RACs) that encode relationships between the heuristic atomic properties (e.g., size, connectivity, and electronegativity) on a molecular graph. We alter the starting point, scope, and nature of the quantities evaluated in standard ACs to make these RACs amenable to inorganic chemistry. On an organic molecule set, we first demonstrate superior standard AC performance to other presently-available topological descriptors for ML model training, with mean unsigned errors (MUEs) for atomization energies on set-aside test molecules as low as 6 kcal/mol. For inorganic chemistry, our RACs yield 1 kcal/mol ML MUEs on set-aside test molecules in spin-state splitting in comparison to 15-20x higher errors from feature sets that encode whole-molecule structural information. Systematic feature selection methods including univariate filtering, recursive feature elimination, and direct optimization (e.g., random forest and LASSO) are compared. Random-forest- or LASSO-selected subsets 4-5x smaller than RAC-155 produce sub- to 1-kcal/mol spin-splitting MUEs, with good transferability to metal-ligand bond length prediction (0.004-5 {AA} MUE) and redox potential on a smaller data set (0.2-0.3 eV MUE). Evaluation of feature selection results across property sets reveals the relative importance of local, electronic descriptors (e.g., electronegativity, atomic number) in spin-splitting and distal, steric effects in redox potential and bond lengths.

ABX3 perovskites have attracted intensive research interest in recent years due to their versatile composition and superior optoelectronic properties. Their counterparts, antiperovskites (X3BA), can be viewed as electronically inverted perovskite der ivatives, but they have not been extensively studied for solar applications. Therefore, understanding their composition-property relationships is crucial for future photovoltaic application. Here, taking six antiperovskite nitrides X3NA (X2+ = Mg, Ca, Sr; A3- = P, As, Sb, Bi) as an example, we investigate the effect of X- and A-sites on the electronic, dielectric, and mechanical properties from the viewpoint of the first-principles calculations. Our calculation results show that the X-site dominates the conduction band, and the A-site has a non-negligible contribution to the band edge. These findings are completely different from traditional halide perovskites. Interestingly, when changing X- or A-site elements, a linear relationship between the tolerance factor and physical quantities, such as electronic parameters, dielectric constants, and Youngs modulus, is observed. By designing the Mg3NAs1-xBix alloys, we further verify this power of the linear relationship, which provides a predictive guidance for experimental preparation of antiperovskite alloys. Finally, we make a comprehensive comparison between the antiperovskite nitrides and conventional halide perovskites for pointing out the future device applications.
Emergent functionalities of structural and topological defects in ferroelectric materials underpin an extremely broad spectrum of applications ranging from domain wall electronics to high dielectric and electromechanical responses. Many of these have been discovered and quantified via local scanning probe microscopy methods. However, the search for these functionalities has until now been based by either trial and error or using auxiliary information such as topography or domain wall structure to identify potential objects of interest based on the intuition of operator or preexisting hypotheses, with subsequent manual exploration. Here, we report the development and implementation of a machine learning framework that actively discovers relationships between local domain structure and polarization switching characteristics in ferroelectric materials encoded in the hysteresis loop. The latter and descriptors such as nucleation bias, coercive bias, hysteresis loop area, or more complex functionals of hysteresis loop shape and corresponding uncertainties are used to guide the discovery via automated piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) and spectroscopy experiments. As such, this approach combines the power of machine learning methods to learn the correlative relationships between high dimensional data, and human-based physics insights encoded in the acquisition function. For ferroelectric, this automated workflow demonstrates that the discovery path and sampling points of on-field and off-field hysteresis loops are largely different, indicating the on-field and off-field hysteresis loops are dominated by different mechanisms. The proposed approach is universal and can be applied to a broad range of modern imaging and spectroscopy methods ranging from other scanning probe microscopy modalities to electron microscopy and chemical imaging.
We introduce a computational method for global optimization of structure and ordering in atomic systems. The method relies on interpolation between chemical elements, which is incorporated in a machine learning structural fingerprint. The method is b ased on Bayesian optimization with Gaussian processes and is applied to the global optimization of Au-Cu bulk systems, Cu-Ni surfaces with CO adsorption, and Cu-Ni clusters. The method consistently identifies low-energy structures, which are likely to be the global minima of the energy. For the investigated systems with 23-66 atoms, the number of required energy and force calculations is in the range 3-75.
Materials property predictions have improved from advances in machine-learning algorithms, delivering materials discoveries and novel insights through data-driven models of structure-property relationships. Nearly all available models rely on featuri zation of materials composition, however, whether the exclusive use of structural knowledge in such models has the capacity to make comparable predictions remains unknown. Here we employ a deep neural network (DNN) model, deepKNet, to learn structure-property relationships in crystalline materials without explicit chemical compositions, focusing on classification of crystal systems, mechanical elasticity, electrical behavior, and phase stability. The deepKNet model utilizes a three-dimensional (3D) momentum space representation of structure from elastic X-ray scattering theory and simultaneously exhibits rotation and permutation invariance. We find that the spatial symmetry of the 3D point cloud, which reflects crystalline symmetry operations, is more important than the point intensities contained within, which correspond to various planar electron densities, for making a successful metal-insulator classification. In contrast, the intensities are more important for predicting bulk moduli. Phase stability, however, relies more upon chemical composition information, where our structure-based model exhibits limited predictability. We find learning the materials structural genome in the form of a chemistry-agnostic DNN demonstrates that some crystal structures inherently host high propensities for optimal materials properties, which enables the decoupling of structure and composition for future co-design of multifunctionality.
The rational tailoring of transition metal complexes is necessary to address outstanding challenges in energy utilization and storage. Heterobimetallic transition metal complexes that exhibit metal-metal bonding in stacked double decker ligand struct ures are an emerging, attractive platform for catalysis, but their properties are challenging to predict prior to laborious synthetic efforts. We demonstrate an alternative, data-driven approach to uncovering structure-property relationships for rational bimetallic complex design. We tailor graph-based representations of the metal-local environment for these heterobimetallic complexes for use in training of multiple linear regression and kernel ridge regression (KRR) models. Focusing on oxidation potentials, we obtain a set of 28 experimentally characterized complexes to develop a multiple linear regression model. On this training set, we achieve good accuracy (mean absolute error, MAE, of 0.25 V) and preserve transferability to unseen experimental data with a new ligand structure. We trained a KRR model on a subset of 330 structurally characterized heterobimetallics to predict the degree of metal-metal bonding. This KRR model predicts relative metal-metal bond lengths in the test set to within 5%, and analysis of key features reveals the fundamental atomic contributions (e.g., the valence electron configuration) that most strongly influence the behavior of complexes. Our work provides guidance for rational bimetallic design, suggesting that properties including the formal shortness ratio should be transferable from one period to another.
