摘要:

晶格热导率($κ_{\rm L} $)是热电材料、热障涂层材料和半导体材料的关键性能。虽然精确的经验测量$κ_{\rm L} $是非常具有挑战性的,它通常是近似通过计算方法,如半经验模型,格林-久保形式主义耦合分子动力学模拟,和基于第一原理的方法。然而,这些理论方法不仅在其精度方面受到限制,而且有时由于其成本而在计算上变得难以处理。因此,在这项工作中,我们建立了一个基于机器学习(ML)的模型,以准确和即时地预测无机材料的$κ_{\rm L}$,使用约100个无机固体的实验测量的$κ_{\rm L} $的基准数据集。我们使用先进和通用的特征工程技术以及高斯过程回归算法,并将我们的ML模型的性能与过去的理论工作进行比较。经过训练的ML模型不仅有助于合理设计和筛选新材料,而且还确定了控制非金属热输运行为的关键特征。

英文摘要:

The lattice thermal conductivity ($κ_{\rm L} $) is a critical property of thermoelectrics, thermal barrier coating materials and semiconductors. While accurate empirical measurements of $κ_{\rm L} $ are extremely challenging, it is usually approximated through computational approaches, such as semi-empirical models, Green-Kubo formalism coupled with molecular dynamics simulations, and first-principles based methods. However, these theoretical methods are not only limited in terms of their accuracy, but sometimes become computationally intractable owing to their cost. Thus, in this work, we build a machine learning (ML)-based model to accurately and instantly predict $κ_{\rm L}$ of inorganic materials, using a benchmark data set of experimentally measured $κ_{\rm L} $ of about 100 inorganic solids. We use advanced and universal feature engineering techniques along with the Gaussian process regression algorithm, and compare the performance of our ML model with past theoretical works. The trained ML model is not only helpful for rational design and screening of novel materials, but we also identify key features governing the thermal transport behavior in non-metals.
