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 based 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.

Fast scanning probe microscopy enabled via machine learning allows for a broad range of nanoscale, temporally resolved physics to be uncovered. However, such examples for functional imaging are few in number. Here, using piezoresponse force microscop y (PFM) as a model application, we demonstrate a factor of 5.8 improvement in imaging rate using a combination of sparse spiral scanning with compressive sensing and Gaussian processing reconstruction. It is found that even extremely sparse scans offer strong reconstructions with less than 6 % error for Gaussian processing reconstructions. Further, we analyze the error associated with each reconstructive technique per reconstruction iteration finding the error is similar past approximately 15 iterations, while at initial iterations Gaussian processing outperforms compressive sensing. This study highlights the capabilities of reconstruction techniques when applied to sparse data, particularly sparse spiral PFM scans, with broad applications in scanning probe and electron microscopies.

Transition metal nitrides have been suggested to have both high hardness and good thermal stability with large potential application value, but so far stable superhard transition metal nitrides have not been synthesized. Here, with our newly develope d machine-learning accelerated crystal structure searching method, we designed a superhard tungsten nitride, h-WN6, which can be synthesized at pressure around 65 GPa and quenchable to ambient pressure. This h-WN6 is constructed with single-bonded N6 rings and presents ionic-like features, which can be formulated as W2.4+N62.4-. It has a band gap of 1.6 eV at 0 GPa and exhibits an abnormal gap broadening behavior under pressure. Excitingly, this h-WN6 is found to be the hardest among transition metal nitrides known so far (Vickers hardness around 57 GPa) and also has a very high melting temperature (around 1900 K). These predictions support the designing rules and may stimulate future experiments to synthesize superhard material.
We have studied the effect of thermal effects on the structural and transport response of Ag atomic-size nanowires generated by mechanical elongation. Our study involves both time-resolved atomic resolution transmission electron microscopy imaging an d quantum conductance measurement using an ultra-high-vacuum mechanically controllable break junction. We have observed drastic changes in conductance and structural properties of Ag nanowires generated at different temperatures (150 and 300 K). By combining electron microscopy images, electronic transport measurements and quantum transport calculations, we have been able to obtain a consistent correlation between the conductance and structural properties of Ag NWs. In particular, our study has revealed the formation of metastable rectangular rod-like Ag wire (3/3) along the (001) crystallographic direction, whose formation is enhanced. These results illustrate the high complexity of analyzing structural and quantum conductance behaviour of metal atomic-size wires; also, they reveal that it is extremely difficult to compare NW conductance experiments performed at different temperatures due to the fundamental modifications of the mechanical behavior.
We use a machine learning approach to identify the importance of microstructure characteristics in causing magnetization reversal in ideally structured large-grained Nd$_2$Fe$_{14}$B permanent magnets. The embedded Stoner-Wohlfarth method is used as a reduced order model for determining local switching field maps which guide the data-driven learning procedure. The predictor model is a random forest classifier which we validate by comparing with full micromagnetic simulations in the case of small granular test structures. In the course of the machine learning microstructure analysis the most important features explaining magnetization reversal were found to be the misorientation and the position of the grain within the magnet. The lowest switching fields occur near the top and bottom edges of the magnet. While the dependence of the local switching field on the grain orientation is known from theory, the influence of the position of the grain on the local coercive field strength is less obvious. As a direct result of our findings of the machine learning analysis we show that edge hardening via Dy-diffusion leads to higher coercive fields.
Statistical learning algorithms are finding more and more applications in science and technology. Atomic-scale modeling is no exception, with machine learning becoming commonplace as a tool to predict energy, forces and properties of molecules and co ndensed-phase systems. This short review summarizes recent progress in the field, focusing in particular on the problem of representing an atomic configuration in a mathematically robust and computationally efficient way. We also discuss some of the regression algorithms that have been used to construct surrogate models of atomic-scale properties. We then show examples of how the optimization of the machine-learning models can both incorporate and reveal insights onto the physical phenomena that underlie structure-property relations.
