Abstract The Open Quantum Materials Database (OQMD) is a high-throughput database currently consisting of nearly 300,000 density functional theory (DFT) total energy calculations compounds from the Inorganic Crystal Structure (ICSD) and decorations commonly occurring crystal structures. To maximise impact these data, entire being made available, without restrictions, at www.oqmd.org/download . In this paper, we outline structure contents database, then use it to evaluate accuracy therein by...

Typically, computational screens for new materials sharply constrain the compositional search space, structural or both, sake of tractability. To lift these constraints, we construct a machine learning model from database thousands density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The resulting can predict thermodynamic stability arbitrary compositions without any other input and with six orders magnitude less computer time than DFT. We use this to scan roughly 1.6 million candidate novel...

The use of hydrogen as fuel is a promising avenue to aid in the reduction greenhouse effect gases released atmosphere. In this work, we present high-throughput density functional theory (HT-DFT) study 5,329 cubic and distorted perovskite ABO3 compounds screen for thermodynamically favorable two-step thermochemical water splitting (TWS) materials. From data set more than 11,000 calculations, screened materials based on following: (a) thermodynamic stability (b) oxygen vacancy formation energy...

Abstract Structure, composition and surface properties dictate corrosion resistance in any given environment. The degrees of freedom alloy design are too numerous emerging materials such as high entropy alloys bulk metallic glasses for the use high-throughput methods or trial error. We review three domains knowledge that can be applied towards goal resistant (CRA) design: (a) aggregation gained through experience developing CRAs empirically, (b) data-driven approaches descriptive metrics...

The rapidly growing interest in machine learning (ML) for materials discovery has resulted a large body of published work. However, only small fraction these publications includes confirmation ML predictions, either via experiment or physics-based simulations. In this review, we first identify the core components common to informatics pipelines, such as training data, choice algorithm, and measurement model performance. Then discuss some prominent examples validated ML-driven across wide...

Abstract This data article presents a compilation of mechanical properties 630 multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs). Built upon recently published MPEA databases, this includes updated records from previous reviews (with minor error corrections) along with new articles that were since 2019. The extracted include reported composition, processing method, microstructure, density, hardness, yield strength, ultimate tensile strength (or maximum compression strength), elongation strain), and...

Corrosion is an electrochemical phenomenon. It can occur via different modes of attack, each having its own mechanisms, and therefore there are multiple metrics for evaluating corrosion resistance. In resistant alloys (CRAs), the rate localized exceed that uniform by orders magnitude. Therefore, instead rate, more complex parameters required to capture salient features phenomena. Here, we collect a database with emphasis on related corrosion. The six sections include data various metal...

Density functional theory (DFT) is widely used to predict materials properties, but the local density approximation (LDA) and generalized gradient (GGA) exchange-correlation functionals are known poorly energetics of reactions involving molecular species. In this paper, we obtain corrections for O${}_{2}$, H${}_{2}$, N${}_{2}$, F${}_{2}$, Cl${}_{2}$ molecules within Perdew-Burke-Enzerhof GGA, Perdew-Wang Perdew-Zunger LDA by comparing DFT-calculated formation energies oxides, hydrides,...
