On-the-fly machine learning-assisted high accuracy second-principles model for BaTiO3
This research introduces a novel machine learning-assisted second-principles method for automatically generating highly accurate atomistic models, specifically demonstrated for BaTiO3. By iteratively updating the training set with data generated from molecular dynamics simulations and uncertainties predicted by machine learning, the model achieves significantly improved accuracy compared to traditional methods. The approach drastically reduces computational cost and enhances the study of thermal transport properties, revealing weak wave-like contributions to thermal conductivity. This automation streamlines the development of predictive models for complex ferroelectric materials, paving the way for advanced materials design.

Optimizing BaTiO3 Thermal Transport
The enhanced model allowed for precise investigations into the thermal transport properties of BaTiO3, a critical material for advanced electronics and energy storage.
Challenge: Traditional methods struggled to accurately predict phonon dispersion at higher frequencies, leading to uncertainties in thermal conductivity calculations and limiting the understanding of heat transfer mechanisms.
Solution: The new machine learning-assisted second-principles model provided unprecedented accuracy across the entire frequency spectrum, enabling reliable calculation of phonon lifetimes and group velocities.
Outcome: For the first time, a weak wave-like contribution to BaTiO3's thermal conductivity was identified, alongside the dominant particle-like transport. This insight is crucial for designing ferroelectric materials with tailored thermal properties, potentially leading to more efficient thermal management in devices.
