Million-scale data integrated deep neural network for phonon properties of heuslers spanning the periodic table

Hong Zhang, Changpeng Lin

Existing machine learning potentials for predicting phonon properties of crystals are typically limited on a material-to-material basis, primarily due to the exponential scaling of model complexity with the number of atomic species. We address this bottlen ...
