Crystal structure prediction has been a subject of topical interest but remains substantial challenge especially for complex structures as it deals with the global minimization extremely rugged high-dimensional potential energy surface. In this paper, symmetry-orientated divide-and-conquer scheme was proposed to construct symmetry tree graph, where entire search space is decomposed into finite number dependent subspaces. An artificial intelligence-based selection strategy subsequently...

Abstract Designing new cathodes with high capacity and moderate potential is the key to breaking energy density ceiling imposed by current intercalation chemistry on rechargeable batteries. The carbonaceous materials provide capacities but their low potentials limit application anodes. Here, we show that Fermi level tuning p-type doping can be an effective way of dramatically raising electrode potential. We demonstrate Li(Na)BCF2/Li(Na)B2C2F2 exhibit such change in level, enabling them...

The theorems of density functional theory (DFT) establish bijective maps between the local external potential a many-body system and its electron density, wavefunction and, therefore, one-particle reduced matrix. Building on this foundation, we show that machine learning models based one-electron matrix can be used to generate surrogate electronic structure methods. We surrogates hybrid DFT, Hartree-Fock full configuration interaction theories for systems ranging from small molecules such as...

Nonlocal kinetic energy functionals with a density-dependent kernel are the most accurate available for carrying out orbital-free density functional theory simulations. Among them, Huang and Carter (HC) [Huang Carter, Phys. Rev. B 81, 045206 (2010)] is bulk semiconductors. A major hurdle in applying HC to nonbulk systems (such as clusters surfaces which have at least one nonperiodic dimension where decays zero) lies its numerical instability large values of reduced gradient,...
