The sensitivity of heterogeneous energetic (HE) materials (propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics) is critically dependent on their microstructure. Initiation of chemical reactions occurs at hot spots due to energy localization at sites of porosities and other defects. Emerging multi-scale predictive models of HE response to loads account for the physics at the meso-scale, i.e. at the scale of statistically representative clusters of particles and other features in the microstructure. Meso-scale physics is infused in machine-learned closure models informed by resolved meso-scale simulations. Since microstructures are stochastic, ensembles of meso-scale simulations are required to quantify hot spot ignition and growth and to develop models for microstructure-dependent energy deposition rates. We propose utilizing generative adversarial networks (GAN) to spawn ensembles of synthetic heterogeneous energetic material microstructures. The method generates qualitatively and quantitatively realistic microstructures by learning from images of HE microstructures. We show that the proposed GAN method also permits the generation of new morphologies, where the porosity distribution can be controlled and spatially manipulated. Such control paves the way for the design of novel microstructures to engineer HE materials for targeted performance in a materials-by-design framework.

The recent surge in the adoption of machine learning techniques for materials design, discovery, and characterization has resulted in an increased interest and application of Image Driven Machine Learning (IDML) approaches. In this work, we review th e application of IDML to the field of materials characterization. A hierarchy of six action steps is defined which compartmentalizes a problem statement into well-defined modules. The studies reviewed in this work are analyzed through the decisions adopted by them at each of these steps. Such a review permits a granular assessment of the field, for example the impact of IDML on materials characterization at the nanoscale, the number of images in a typical dataset required to train a semantic segmentation model on electron microscopy images, the prevalence of transfer learning in the domain, etc. Finally, we discuss the importance of interpretability and explainability, and provide an overview of two emerging techniques in the field: semantic segmentation and generative adversarial networks.
Active learning has been increasingly applied to screening functional materials from existing materials databases with desired properties. However, the number of known materials deposited in the popular materials databases such as ICSD and Materials Project is extremely limited and consists of just a tiny portion of the vast chemical design space. Herein we present an active generative inverse design method that combines active learning with a deep variational autoencoder neural network and a generative adversarial deep neural network model to discover new materials with a target property in the whole chemical design space. The application of this method has allowed us to discover new thermodynamically stable materials with high band gap (SrYF$_5$) and semiconductors with specified band gap ranges (SrClF$_3$, CaClF$_5$, YCl$_3$, SrC$_2$F$_3$, AlSCl, As$_2$O$_3$), all of which are verified by the first principle DFT calculations. Our experiments show that while active learning itself may sample chemically infeasible candidates, these samples help to train effective screening models for filtering out materials with desired properties from the hypothetical materials created by the generative model. The experiments show the effectiveness of our active generative inverse design approach.
The large-scale search for high-performing candidate 2D materials is limited to calculating a few simple descriptors, usually with first-principles density functional theory calculations. In this work, we alleviate this issue by extending and general izing crystal graph convolutional neural networks to systems with planar periodicity, and train an ensemble of models to predict thermodynamic, mechanical, and electronic properties. To demonstrate the utility of this approach, we carry out a screening of nearly 45,000 structures for two largely disjoint applications: namely, mechanically robust composites and photovoltaics. An analysis of the uncertainty associated with our methods indicates the ensemble of neural networks is well-calibrated and has errors comparable with those from accurate first-principles density functional theory calculations. The ensemble of models allows us to gauge the confidence of our predictions, and to find the candidates most likely to exhibit effective performance in their applications. Since the datasets used in our screening were combinatorically generated, we are also able to investigate, using an innovative method, structural and compositional design principles that impact the properties of the structures surveyed and which can act as a generative model basis for future material discovery through reverse engineering. Our approach allowed us to recover some well-accepted design principles: for instance, we find that hybrid organic-inorganic perovskites with lead and tin tend to be good candidates for solar cell applications.
We derive a dielectric-dependent hybrid functional which accurately describes the electronic properties of heterogeneous interfaces and surfaces, as well as those of three- and two-dimensional bulk solids. The functional, which does not contain any a djustable parameter, is a generalization of self-consistent hybrid functionals introduced for homogeneous solids, where the screened Coulomb interaction is defined using a spatially varying, local dielectric function. The latter is determined self-consistently using density functional calculations in finite electric fields. We present results for the band gaps and dielectric constants of 3D and 2D bulk materials, and band offsets for interfaces, showing an accuracy comparable to that of GW calculations.
The development of new materials and structures for extreme conditions including impact remains a continuing challenge despite steady advances. Design is currently accomplished using a sequential approach: an optimal material is first developed using the process-structure-properties paradigm, where performance is measured against a blended measure. Then, the structure is optimized while holding the material properties fixed. In this paper, we propose an alternative concurrent and goal-oriented optimization approach where both the material properties and the structure are optimized simultaneously against an overall system-wide performance measure. We develop a non-intrusive, high-performance computational framework based on DAKOTA and GMSH and use it to study the ballistic impact of a double-layer plate of strong AZ31B magnesium alloy and soft polyurea. We show that the proposed concurrent and goal-oriented optimization strategy can provide significant advantage over the traditional sequential optimization approach.
