Materials characterization and property measurements are a cornerstone of material science, providing feedback from synthesis to applications. Traditionally, a single sample is used to derive information on a single point in composition space, and imperfections, impurities and stochastic details of material structure are deemed irrelevant or complicating factors in analysis. Here we demonstrate that atomic-scale studies of a single nominal composition can provide information on a finite area of chemical space. This information can be used to reconstruct the material properties in a finite composition and temperature range. We develop a statistical physics-based framework that incorporates chemical and structural data to infer effective atomic interactions driving segregation in a La5/8Ca3/8MnO3 thin-film. A variational autoencoder is used to determine anomalous behaviors in the composition phase diagram. This study provides a framework for creating generative models from diverse data and provides direct insight into the driving forces for cation segregation in manganites.

Traditionally, phase transitions are explored using a combination of macroscopic functional characterization and scattering techniques, providing insight into average properties and symmetries of the lattice but local atomic level mechanisms during p
hase transitions generally remain unknown. Here we explore the mechanisms of a phase transition between the trigonal prismatic and distorted octahedral phases of layered chalogenides in the MoS2 ReS2 system from the observations of local degrees of freedom, namely atomic positions by Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM). We employ local crystallographic analysis based on machine learning of atomic environments to build a picture of the transition from the atomic level up and determine local and global variables controlling the local symmetry breaking. In particular, we argue that the dependence of the average symmetry breaking distortion amplitude on global and local concentration can be used to separate local chemical and global electronic effects on transition. This approach allows exploring atomic mechanisms beyond the traditional macroscopic descriptions, utilizing the imaging of compositional fluctuations in solids to explore phase transitions over a range of realized and observed local stoichiometries and atomic configurations.
Phase diagrams are an invaluable tool for material synthesis and provide information on the phases of the material at any given thermodynamic condition. Conventional phase diagram generation involves experimentation to provide an initial estimate of
thermodynamically accessible phases, followed by use of phenomenological models to interpolate between the available experimental data points and extrapolate to inaccessible regions. Such an approach, combined with first-principles calculations and data-mining techniques, has led to exhaustive thermodynamic databases albeit at distinct thermodynamic equilibria. In contrast, materials during their synthesis, operation, or processing, may not reach their thermodynamic equilibrium state but, instead, remain trapped in a local free energy minimum, that may exhibit desirable properties. Mapping these metastable phases and their thermodynamic behavior is highly desirable but currently lacking. Here, we introduce an automated workflow that integrates first principles physics and atomistic simulations with machine learning (ML), and high-performance computing to allow rapid exploration of the metastable phases of a given elemental composition. Using a representative material, carbon, with a vast number of metastable phases without parent in equilibrium, we demonstrate automatic mapping of hundreds of metastable states ranging from near equilibrium to those far-from-equilibrium. Moreover, we incorporate the free energy calculations into a neural-network-based learning of the equations of state that allows for construction of metastable phase diagrams. High temperature high pressure experiments using a diamond anvil cell on graphite sample coupled with high-resolution transmission electron microscopy are used to validate our metastable phase predictions. Our introduced approach is general and broadly applicable to single and multi-component systems.
Machine learning promises to deliver powerful new approaches to neutron scattering from magnetic materials. Large scale simulations provide the means to realise this with approaches including spin-wave, Landau Lifshitz, and Monte Carlo methods. These
approaches are shown to be effective at simulating magnetic structures and dynamics in a wide range of materials. Using large numbers of simulations the effectiveness of machine learning approaches are assessed. Principal component analysis and nonlinear autoencoders are considered with the latter found to provide a high degree of compression and to be highly suited to neutron scattering problems. Agglomerative heirarchical clustering in the latent space is shown to be effective at extracting phase diagrams of behavior and features in an automated way that aid understanding and interpretation. The autoencoders are also well suited to optimizing model parameters and were found to be highly advantageous over conventional fitting approaches including being tolerant of artifacts in untreated data. The potential of machine learning to automate complex data analysis tasks including the inversion of neutron scattering data into models and the processing of large volumes of multidimensional data is assessed. Directions for future developments are considered and machine learning argued to have high potential for impact on neutron science generally.
Atomic structures and adatom geometries of surfaces encode information about the thermodynamics and kinetics of the processes that lead to their formation, and which can be captured by a generative physical model. Here we develop a workflow based on
a machine learning-based analysis of scanning tunneling microscopy images to reconstruct the atomic and adatom positions, and a Bayesian optimization procedure to minimize statistical distance between the chosen physical models and experimental observations. We optimize the parameters of a 2- and 3-parameter Ising model describing surface ordering and use the derived generative model to make predictions across the parameter space. For concentration dependence, we compare the predicted morphologies at different adatom concentrations with the dissimilar regions on the sample surfaces that serendipitously had different adatom concentrations. The proposed workflow is universal and can be used to reconstruct the thermodynamic models and associated uncertainties from the experimental observations of materials microstructures. The code used in the manuscript is available at https://github.com/saimani5/Adatom_interactions.
Directly imaging all atoms constituting a material and, maybe more importantly, crystalline defects that dictate materials properties, remains a formidable challenge. Here, we propose a new approach to chemistry-sensitive field-ion microscopy (FIM) c
ombining contrast interpretation from density-functional theory (DFT) and elemental identification enabled by time-of-flight mass-spectrometry and data mining. Analytical-FIM has true atomic resolution and we demonstrate how the technique can reveal the presence of individual solute atoms at specific positions in the microstructure. The performance of this new technique is showcased in revealing individual Re atoms at crystalline defects formed in Ni during creep deformation. The atomistic details offered by A-FIM allowed us to directly compare our results with simulations, and to tackle a long-standing question of how Re extends lifetime of Ni-based superalloys in service at high-temperature.
