Simple machine-learned interatomic potentials for complex alloys
Physical Review Materials
Developing data-driven machine-learning interatomic potentials for materials containing many elements becomes increasingly challenging due to the vast configuration space that must be sampled by the training data. We study the learning rates and achievable accuracy of machine-learning interatomic potentials for many-element alloys with different combinations of descriptors for the local atomic environments. We show that for a five-element alloy system, potentials using simple low-dimensional descriptors can reach meV/atom-accuracy with modestly sized training datasets, significantly outperforming the high-dimensional SOAP descriptor in data efficiency, accuracy, and speed. In particular, we develop a computationally fast machine-learned and tabulated Gaussian approximation potential (tabGAP) for Mo-Nb-Ta-V-W alloys with a combination of two-body, three-body, and a new simple scalar many-body density descriptor based on the embedded atom method.

The use of advanced data analytics and applications of statistical and machine learning approaches ('AI') to materials science is experiencing explosive growth recently. In this prospective, we review recent work focusing on generation and application of libraries from both experiment and theoretical tools, across length scales. The available library data both enables classical correlative machine learning, and also opens the pathway for exploration of underlying causative physical behaviors. We highlight the key advances facilitated by this approach, and illustrate how modeling, macroscopic experiments and atomic-scale imaging can be combined to dramatically accelerate understanding and development of new material systems via a statistical physics framework. These developments point towards a data driven future wherein knowledge can be aggregated and used collectively, accelerating the advancement of materials science.
