The Open Quantum Materials Database (OQMD): assessing the accuracy of DFT formation energies

TL;DR: The Open Quantum Materials Database (OQMD) as discussed by the authors is a high-throughput database consisting of nearly 300,000 density functional theory (DFT) total energy calculations of compounds from the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD).
Journal ArticleDOI

Combinatorial screening for new materials in unconstrained composition space with machine learning

TL;DR: A machine learning model is constructed from a database of thousands of density functional theory calculations that can predict the thermodynamic stability of arbitrary compositions without any other input and with six orders of magnitude less computer time than DFT.
Journal ArticleDOI

High Thermoelectric Performance of p-Type SnTe via a Synergistic Band Engineering and Nanostructuring Approach

TL;DR: It is shown that Sn self-compensation can effectively reduce the Sn vacancies and decrease the hole carrier density, and alloying with Cd atoms enables a form of valence band engineering that improves the high-temperature thermoelectric performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Extraordinary role of Hg in enhancing the thermoelectric performance of p-type SnTe

TL;DR: In this article, several synergistic effects in Hg alloying of SnTe to enhance the power factor and overall figure of merit ZT were reported, leading to high ZT of ∼1.35 at 910 K for 2% Bi-doped SnTe with 3% HgTe.
