Abstract X-ray diffraction (XRD) data acquisition and analysis is among the most time-consuming steps in development cycle of novel thin-film materials. We propose a machine learning-enabled approach to predict crystallographic dimensionality space group from limited number XRD patterns. overcome scarce problem intrinsic materials by coupling supervised learning with model-agnostic, physics-informed augmentation strategy using simulated Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD)...

Deep neural operators can learn mapping between infinite-dimensional function spaces via deep networks and have become an emerging paradigm of scientific machine learning. However, training usually requires a large amount high-fidelity data, which is often difficult to obtain in real engineering problems. Here we address this challenge by using multifidelity learning, i.e., learning from data sets. We develop operator based on network (DeepONet). A DeepONet includes two standard DeepONets...

In this work we analyze the coupled piezoelectric and semiconductive behavior of vertically aligned ZnO nanowires under uniform compression. The screening effect on field caused by free carriers in compressed zinc oxide (NWs) has been computed means both analytical considerations finite element calculations. We predict that, for typical geometries donor concentrations, length NW does not significantly influence maximum output piezopotential because potential mainly drops across tip, so that...

We study heating and heat dissipation of a single C(60) molecule in the junction scanning tunneling microscope by measuring electron current required to thermally decompose fullerene cage. The power for decomposition varies with energy reflects molecular resonance structure. When tip contacts can sustain much larger currents. Transport simulations explain these effects due resonant electron-phonon coupling cooling vibrational decay into upon contact formation.

Nanostructured materials exhibit low thermal conductivity because of the additional scattering due to phonon-boundary interactions. As these interactions are highly sensitive mean free path (MFP) a given phonon mode, MFP distributions in nanostructures can be dramatically distorted relative bulk. Here we calculate distribution periodic nanoporous Si for different temperatures, using recently developed MFP-dependent Boltzmann Transport Equation. After analyzing contribution each branch...

Tuning thermal transport in nanostructured materials is a powerful approach to develop high-efficiency thermoelectric materials. Using recently developed based on the phonon mean free path dependent Boltzmann equation, we compute effective conductivity of nanoporous with pores various shapes and arrangements. We assess importance pore-pore distance suppressing transport, identify pore arrangement that minimizes conductivity, composed periodic two misaligned rows triangular pores. Such...

We develop a computational framework, based on the Boltzmann transport equation (BTE), with ability to compute thermal in nanostructured materials of any geometry using, as only input, bulk cumulative conductivity. The main advantage our method is twofold. First, while scattering times and dispersion curves are unknown for most materials, phonon mean free path (MFP) distribution can be directly obtained by experiments. As consequence, wider range simulated than frequency-dependent (FD)...

In this work we analyze the role played by molecular resonances on thermal behavior of single molecule junction. We consider a fullerene Cu(110) substrate when current is driven across using an scanning tunnel microscope tip. Calculations based density-functional theory and nonequilibrium Green's functions have predicted lowering temperature whenever resonance gets close to injection window. This behavior, due interplay emission absorption phonon processes, can take place (at...

Water stress is one of the main causes yield reductions in crops, especially arid and semi-arid regions where water supply limited. Plant status frequently assessed by pre-dawn leaf potential (ΨPD) or stomata conductance (gL) measurements, support advanced irrigation scheduling. However, both methods are time labour consuming. A non-invasive approach to detection use infrared thermography (IRT). This experiment was conducted a greenhouse on two potted maize varieties under irrigated...
