Lattice Anharmonicity in Solids: High-Throughput Screening and Machine Learning
DescriptionDespite important breakthroughs in the last decade, the calculation of temperature dependent properties of solids still remains a challenging task, especially in the vicinity of structural phase transitions [1]. In this talk, I will show examples of computational high-throughput screening of thermal [2] and dielectric [3] properties, focusing on the example of oxide and fluoride perovskites. I will also discuss how machine learning can be used to accelerate such a screening [2] or to go beyond the current capabilities of plain density functional theory [4].
