Quantitative trends in 8 physical properties of 115000 inorganic compounds gained by machine learning.
2018
We applied the decision trees (random forest) machine-learning technique for the large experimental materials dataset PAULING FILE, compiled from the world's peer-reviewed literature. The training and validation data were extracted from the hundreds of thousands of publications in materials science (1891-2017). Then, for the nearly 115'000 distinct inorganic compounds we predicted 8 thermodynamic, mechanical, and electronic properties, using the only crystalline structures as an input. For the predicted physical properties we observed certain periodical patterns in all unary, binary, ternary, and quaternary compounds. We also solved a reversed task of predicting the possible crystalline structure based on a given combination of values of the 8 mentioned properties. Therefore our observations may play a role of the periodic table, formulated not for the chemical elements, but for the entire set of materials.
