About this paper
Rogério Almeida Gouvêa, Gian-Marco Rignanese
VibroML is an automated Python toolkit that leverages machine-learned potentials for high-throughput vibrational analysis and dynamic instability remediation in crystalline materials. This toolkit automatically transforms unstable crystal structures into stable polymorphs, validates their thermal stability, and facilitates the discovery of new materials in complex chemical spaces.
Key insights
- Energy-guided genetic algorithms are highly effective for global optimization of the potential energy surface, enabling the discovery of lower-energy and diverse stable polymorphs more efficiently than traditional soft-mode following.
- Foundational MLIPs provide near-DFT accuracy for forces and energies, allowing for rapid and reliable phonon calculations and the capture of thermodynamic hierarchies in materials systems.
- A comprehensive "deep-screening" approach, combining instability remediation, thermal validation, and combinatorial exploration, is crucial for accelerating the discovery of robust and experimentally viable materials.
