Material network representations, which model elements as nodes and alloy systems as connections, are proposed to accelerate the design of high-performance amorphous alloys. This approach helps identify unexplored multi-component alloy candidates and tracks historical discovery patterns, demonstrating the networks' ability to encode future alloy discoveries while revealing abnormal scale-free topological properties akin to other physically constrained networks.

Key insights

  • Material network representation effectively uncovers hidden relationships and potential candidates from limited, sparse material datasets by modeling elements and alloy systems as nodes and connections.
  • The historical evolution of amorphous alloy discovery indicates a shift towards exploring existing elemental combinations rather than introducing new elements, leading to an 'innovation trap' but also revealing predictable growth patterns.
  • Material networks exhibit 'abnormal scale-free' topology (power-law exponent "gamma" approx 1.5), a characteristic also observed in other real-world networks under physical constraints, suggesting universal growth principles.
