Accelerating crystal structure prediction by machine-learning interatomic potentials with active learning

TL;DR: A methodology based on the evolutionary algorithm USPEX and the machine-learning interatomic potentials actively learning on-the-fly allows for an automated construction of an interatomic interaction model from scratch, replacing the expensive density functional theory (DFT) and giving a speedup of several orders of magnitude.

First-principles structural design of superhard materials

TL;DR: This work adopted hardness as the fitness function in combination with the first-principles calculation to construct the hardness vs. energy map by seeking a proper balance between hardness and energy for a better mechanical description of given chemical systems.

Prediction of new low compressibility solids.

TL;DR: The empirical model indicates that hypothetical covalent solids formed between carbon and nitrogen are good candidates for extreme hardness and first principles pseudopotential total energy calculation on the system shows that materials like the prototype can have bulk moduli comparable to or greater than diamond.
