Abstract
Combining materials science, artificial intelligence (AI), physical chemistry, and other disciplines, materials informatics is continuously accelerating the vigorous development of new materials. The emergence of "GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) AI" shows that the scientific research field has entered the era of intelligent civilization with "data" as the basic factor and "algorithm + computing power" as the core productivity. The continuous innovation of AI will impact the cognitive laws and scientific methods, and reconstruct the knowledge and wisdom system. This leads to think more about materials informatics. Here, a comprehensive discussion of AI models and materials infrastructures is provided, and the advances in the discovery and design of new materials are reviewed. With the rise of new research paradigms triggered by "AI for Science", the vane of materials informatics: "MatGPT", is proposed and the technical path planning from the aspects of data, descriptors, generative models, pretraining models, directed design models, collaborative training, experimental robots, as well as the efforts and preparations needed to develop a new generation of materials informatics, is carried out. Finally, the challenges and constraints faced by materials informatics are discussed, in order to achieve a more digital, intelligent, and automated construction of materials informatics with the joint efforts of more interdisciplinary scientists.

Abstract
The electrical resistivity and the Hall effect of topological insulator Bi2Te3 and Bi2Se3 single crystals were studied in the temperature range from 4.2 to 300 K and in magnetic fields up to 10 T. Theoretical calculations of the electronic structure of these compounds were carried out in density functional approach, taking into account spin-orbit coupling and crystal structure data for temperatures of 5, 50 and 300 K. A clear correlation was found between the density of electronic states at the Fermi level and the current carrier concentration. In the case of Bi2Te3, the density of states at the Fermi level and the current carrier concentration increase with increasing temperature, from 0.296 states eV-1 cell-1 (5 K) to 0.307 states eV-1 cell-1 (300 K) and from 0.9 × 1019 cm-3 (5 K) to 2.6 × 1019 cm-3 (300 K), respectively. On the contrary, in the case of Bi2Se3, the density of states decreases with increasing temperature, from 0.201 states eV-1 cell-1 (5 K) to 0.198 states eV-1 cell-1 (300 K), and, as a consequence, the charge carrier concentration also decreases from 2.94 × 1019 cm-3 (5 K) to 2.81 × 1019 cm-3 (300 K).

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms in materials design is revolutionizing the field of materials engineering thanks to their power to predict material properties, design de novo materials with enhanced features, and discover new mechanisms beyond intuition. In addition, they can be used to infer complex design principles and identify high-quality candidates more rapidly than trial-and-error experimentation. From this perspective, herein we describe how these tools can enable the acceleration and enrichment of each stage of the discovery cycle of novel materials with optimized properties. We begin by outlining the state-of-the-art AI models in materials design, including machine learning (ML), deep learning, and materials informatics tools. These methodologies enable the extraction of meaningful information from vast amounts of data, enabling researchers to uncover complex correlations and patterns within material properties, structures, and compositions. Next, a comprehensive overview of AI-driven materials design is provided and its potential future prospects are highlighted. By leveraging such AI algorithms, researchers can efficiently search and analyze databases containing a wide range of material properties, enabling the identification of promising candidates for specific applications. This capability has profound implications across various industries, from drug development to energy storage, where materials performance is crucial.

Abstract
A multimodal deep-learning (MDL) framework is presented for predicting physical properties of a ten-dimensional acrylic polymer composite material by merging physical attributes and chemical data. The MDL model comprises four modules, including three generative deep-learning models for material structure characterization and a fourth model for property prediction. The approach handles an 18-dimensional complexity, with ten compositional inputs and eight property outputs, successfully predicting 913 680 property data points across 114 210 composition conditions. This level of complexity is unprecedented in computational materials science, particularly for materials with undefined structures. A framework is proposed to analyze the high-dimensional information space for inverse material design, demonstrating flexibility and adaptability to various materials and scales, provided sufficient data are available. This study advances future research on different materials and the development of more sophisticated models, drawing the authors closer to the ultimate goal of predicting all properties of all materials.

Abstract
Why are the transition temperatures (T c) of superconducting materials so different? The answer to this question is not only of great significance in revealing the mechanism of high-T c superconductivity but also can be used as a guide for the design of new superconductors. However, so far, it is still challenging to identify the governing factors affecting the T c. In this work, with the aid of machine learning and first-principles calculations, we found a close relevance between the upper limit of the T c and the energy-level distribution of valence electrons. It implies that some additional inter-orbital electron-electron interaction should be considered in the interpretation of high-T c superconductivity.

Abstract
Using machine learning based on a random forest (RF) regression algorithm, we attempted to predict the amount of adsorbed serum protein on polymer brush films from the films' physicochemical information and the monomers' chemical structures constituting the films using a RF model. After the training of the RF model using the data of polymer brush films synthesized from five different types of monomers, the model became capable of predicting the amount of adsorbed protein from the chemical structure, physicochemical properties of monomer molecules, and structural parameters (density and thickness of the films). The analysis of the trained RF quantitatively provided the importance of each structural parameter and physicochemical properties of monomers toward serum protein adsorption (SPA). The ranking for the significance of the parameters agrees with our general understanding and perception. Based on the results, we discuss the correlation between brush film's physical properties (such as thickness and density) and SPA and attempt to provide a guideline for the design of antibiofouling polymer brush films.

Abstract
Automated molecule design by computers has been an essential topic in materials informatics. Still, generating practical structures is not easy because of the difficulty in treating material stability, synthetic difficulty, mechanical properties, and other miscellaneous parameters, often leading to the generation of junk molecules. We tackle the problem by introducing supervised/unsupervised machine learning and quantum-inspired annealing. Our autonomous molecular design system can help experimental researchers discover practical materials more efficiently. Like the human design process, new molecules are explored based on knowledge of existing compounds. A new solid-state polymer electrolyte for lithium-ion batteries is designed and synthesized, giving a promising room temperature conductivity of 10-5 S/cm with reasonable thermal, chemical, and mechanical properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug design is one of the important applications of biological science. Extensive studies have been done on computer-aided drug design based on inverse quantitative structure activity relationship (inverse QSAR), which is to infer chemical compounds from given chemical activities and constraints. However, exact or optimal solutions are not guaranteed in most of the existing methods. METHOD Recently a novel framework based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) and mixed integer linear programming (MILP) has been proposed for designing chemical structures. This framework consists of two phases: an ANN is used to construct a prediction function, and then an MILP formulated on the trained ANN and a graph search algorithm are used to infer desired chemical structures. In this paper, we use linear regression instead of ANNs to construct a prediction function. For this, we derive a novel MILP formulation that simulates the computation process of a prediction function by linear regression. RESULTS For the first phase, we performed computational experiments using 18 chemical properties, and the proposed method achieved good prediction accuracy for a relatively large number of properties, in comparison with ANNs in our previous work. For the second phase, we performed computational experiments on five chemical properties, and the method could infer chemical structures with around up to 50 non-hydrogen atoms. CONCLUSIONS Combination of linear regression and integer programming is a potentially useful approach to computational molecular design.

Abstract
We develop a framework powered by machine learning (ML) and high-throughput density functional theory (DFT) computations for the prediction and screening of functional impurities in groups IV, III–V, and II–VI zinc blende semiconductors. Elements spanning the length and breadth of the periodic table are considered as impurity atoms at the cation, anion, or interstitial sites in supercells of 34 candidate semiconductors, leading to a chemical space of approximately 12,000 points, 10% of which are used to generate a DFT dataset of charge dependent defect formation energies. Descriptors based on tabulated elemental properties, defect coordination environment, and relevant semiconductor properties are used to train ML regression models for the DFT computed neutral state formation energies and charge transition levels of impurities. Optimized kernel ridge, Gaussian process, random forest, and neural network regression models are applied to screen impurities with lower formation energy than dominant native defects in all compounds. Large computational dataset of defect properties in semiconductors is developed Regression algorithms are used to train predictive models for defect properties Best models are used for high-throughput prediction and screening Lists of low energy “dominating” impurities are generated
Our article introduces a universal predictive framework for point defect formation energies and charge transition levels in a wide chemical space of zinc blende semiconductors and possible impurity atoms selected from across the periodic table. This framework was developed by leveraging high-throughput quantum mechanical simulations benchmarked using some experimental data from the literature, as well as machine learning (ML)-based regressions techniques that map unique materials descriptors to computed defect properties and yield optimized and generalizable models. The power and utility of these models is revealed through quick predictions for thousands of new defects and screening of low-energy impurities, which may tune the equilibrium conductivity in the semiconductor. This work presents, to our knowledge, the largest density functional theory (DFT) dataset of defect properties in semiconductors and the largest DFT+ML-based screening of point defects in semiconductors to date.

Abstract
In this paper, we develop a data-driven machine learning (ML) approach to predict the adiabatic temperature change (ΔT) in BaTiO3-based ceramics as a function of chemical composition, temperature, and applied electric field. The data set was curated from a survey of published electrocaloric measurements. Each chemical composition was represented by elemental descriptors of A-site and B-site elements. Pair-wise statistical correlation analysis was used to remove linearly correlated descriptors. We trained two separate regression-based ML models for indirect and direct measurements and found that both are capable of capturing the general trend of the temperature vs ΔT curve for various applied electric fields. We then complemented the regression models with a classification learning model that predicts the expected phase as a function of chemical composition and temperature. The combined regression and classification learning ML models predict a global maxima in ΔT near rhombohedral to cubic or tetragonal to cubic phase transition regions. An interactive, open source web application is developed to enable interested users to query our trained models and accelerate the design of novel BaTiO3-based ceramics with targeted phase and ΔT properties for electrocaloric applications.

Abstract
First-principles calculation based on density functional theory is a powerful tool for understanding and designing magnetic materials. It enables us to quantitatively describe magnetic properties and structural stability, although further methodological developments for the treatment of strongly correlated 4f electrons and finite-temperature magnetism are needed. Here, we review recent developments of computational schemes for rare-earth magnet compounds, and summarize our theoretical studies on Nd2Fe14B and RFe12-type compounds. Effects of chemical substitution and interstitial dopants are clarified. We also discuss how data-driven approaches are used for studying multinary systems. Chemical composition can be optimized with fewer trials by the Bayesian optimization. We also present a data-assimilation method for predicting finite-temperature magnetization in wide composition space by integrating computational and experimental data.

Abstract
Quasicrystals have emerged as the third class of solid-state materials, distinguished from periodic crystals and amorphous solids, which have long-range order without periodicity exhibiting rotational symmetries that are disallowed for periodic crystals in most cases. To date, more than one hundred stable quasicrystals have been reported, leading to the discovery of many new and exciting phenomena. However, the pace of the discovery of new quasicrystals has lowered in recent years, largely owing to the lack of clear guiding principles for the synthesis of new quasicrystals. Here, it is shown that the discovery of new quasicrystals can be accelerated with a simple machine-learning workflow. With a list of the chemical compositions of known stable quasicrystals, approximant crystals, and ordinary crystals, a prediction model is trained to solve the three-class classification task and its predictability compared to the observed phase diagrams of ternary aluminum systems is evaluated. The validation experiments strongly support the superior predictive power of machine learning, with the overall prediction accuracy of the phase prediction task reaching ≈0.728. Furthermore, analyzing the input-output relationships black-boxed into the model, nontrivial empirical equations interpretable by humans that describe conditions necessary for stable quasicrystal formation are identified.

Abstract
Multiscale and multimodal imaging of material structures and properties provides solid ground on which materials theory and design can flourish. Recently, KAIST announced 10 flagship research fields, which include KAIST Materials Revolution: Materials and Molecular Modeling, Imaging, Informatics and Integration (M3I3). The M3I3 initiative aims to reduce the time for the discovery, design and development of materials based on elucidating multiscale processing-structure-property relationship and materials hierarchy, which are to be quantified and understood through a combination of machine learning and scientific insights. In this review, we begin by introducing recent progress on related initiatives around the globe, such as the Materials Genome Initiative (U.S.), Materials Informatics (U.S.), the Materials Project (U.S.), the Open Quantum Materials Database (U.S.), Materials Research by Information Integration Initiative (Japan), Novel Materials Discovery (E.U.), the NOMAD repository (E.U.), Materials Scientific Data Sharing Network (China), Vom Materials Zur Innovation (Germany), and Creative Materials Discovery (Korea), and discuss the role of multiscale materials and molecular imaging combined with machine learning in realizing the vision of M3I3. Specifically, microscopies using photons, electrons, and physical probes will be revisited with a focus on the multiscale structural hierarchy, as well as structure-property relationships. Additionally, data mining from the literature combined with machine learning will be shown to be more efficient in finding the future direction of materials structures with improved properties than the classical approach. Examples of materials for applications in energy and information will be reviewed and discussed. A case study on the development of a Ni-Co-Mn cathode materials illustrates M3I3's approach to creating libraries of multiscale structure-property-processing relationships. We end with a future outlook toward recent developments in the field of M3I3.

Abstract
A novel framework for inverse quantitative structure-activity relationships (inverse QSAR) has recently been proposed and developed using both artificial neural networks and mixed integer linear programming. However, classes of chemical graphs treated by the framework are limited. In order to deal with an arbitrary graph in the framework, we introduce a new model, called a two-layered model, and develop a corresponding method. In this model, each chemical graph is regarded as two parts: the exterior and the interior. The exterior consists of maximal acyclic induced subgraphs with bounded height, the interior is the connected subgraph obtained by ignoring the exterior, and the feature vector consists of the frequency of adjacent atom pairs in the interior and the frequency of chemical acyclic graphs in the exterior. Our method is more flexible than the existing method in the sense that any type of graphs can be inferred. We compared the proposed method with an existing method using several data sets obtained from PubChem database. The new method could infer more general chemical graphs with up to 50 non-hydrogen atoms. The proposed inverse QSAR method can be applied to the inference of more general chemical graphs than before.

Abstract
New Nd-Fe-B crystal structures can be formed via the elemental substitution of LA-T-X host structures, including lanthanides (LA), transition metals (T) and light elements, X = B, C, N and O. The 5967 samples of ternary LA-T-X materials that are collected are then used as the host structures. For each host crystal structure, a substituted crystal structure is created by substituting all lanthanide sites with Nd, all transition metal sites with Fe and all light-element sites with B. High-throughput first-principles calculations are applied to evaluate the phase stability of the newly created crystal structures, and 20 of them are found to be potentially formable. A data-driven approach based on supervised and unsupervised learning techniques is applied to estimate the stability and analyze the structure-stability relationship of the newly created Nd-Fe-B crystal structures. For predicting the stability for the newly created Nd-Fe-B structures, three supervised learning models: kernel ridge regression, logistic classification and decision tree model, are learned from the LA-T-X host crystal structures; the models achieved maximum accuracy and recall scores of 70.4 and 68.7%, respectively. On the other hand, our proposed unsupervised learning model based on the integration of descriptor-relevance analysis and a Gaussian mixture model achieved an accuracy and recall score of 72.9 and 82.1%, respectively, which are significantly better than those of the supervised models. While capturing and interpreting the structure-stability relationship of the Nd-Fe-B crystal structures, the unsupervised learning model indicates that the average atomic coordination number and coordination number of the Fe sites are the most important factors in determining the phase stability of the new substituted Nd-Fe-B crystal structures.

Abstract
Research data management is a major necessity for the digital transformation in material science. Material science is multifaceted and experimental data, especially, is highly diverse. We demonstrate an adjustable approach to a group level data management based on a customizable document management software. Our solution is to continuously transform data management workflows from generalized to specialized data management. We start up fast with a relatively unregulated base setting and adapt continuously over the period of use to transform more and more data procedures into specialized data management workflows. By continuous adaptation and integration of analysis workflows and metadata schemes, the amount and the quality of the data improves. As an example of this process, in a period of 36 months, data on over 1800 samples, mainly materials libraries with hundreds of individual samples, were collected. The research data management system now contains over 1700 deposition processes and more than 4000 characterization documents. From initially mainly user-defined data input, an increased number of specialized data processing workflows was developed allowing the collection of more specialized, quality-assured data sets.

Abstract
We propose a novel descriptor of materials, named 'cation fingerprints', based on the chemical formula or concentrations of raw materials and their respective properties. To test its performance, this method was used to predict the viscosity of glass materials using the experimental database INTERGLAD. Using artificial neural network models, we succeeded in predicting the temperature required for glass to have a specific viscosity within a root-mean-square error of 33.0°C. We were also able to evaluate the effect of particular target raw materials using a model trained without including the specific target raw material. The results show that cation fingerprints with a neural network model can predict some unseen combinations of raw materials. In addition, we propose a method for estimating the prediction accuracy by calculating cosine similarity of the input features of the material which we want to predict.

Abstract
The empirical modeling methods are widely used in corrosion behavior analysis. But due to the limited regression ability of conventional algorithms, modeling objects are often limited to individual factors and specific environments. This study proposed a modeling method based on machine learning to simulate the marine atmospheric corrosion behavior of low-alloy steels. The correlations between material, environmental factors and corrosion rate were evaluated, and their influences on the corrosion behavior of steels were analyzed intuitively. By using the selected dominating factors as input variables, an optimized random forest model was established with a high prediction accuracy of corrosion rate (R2 values, 0.94 and 0.73 to the training set and testing set) to different low-alloy steel samples in several typical marine atmospheric environments. The results demonstrated that machine learning was efficient in corrosion behavior analysis, which usually involves a regression analysis of multiple factors.

Abstract
The Pauling rules have been used for decades to rationalise the crystal structures of ionic compounds. Despite their importance, there has been no statistical assessment of the performances of these five empirical rules so far. Here, we rigorously and automatically test all five Pauling rules for a large data set of around 5000 known oxides. We discuss each Pauling rule separately, stressing their limits and range of application in terms of chemistries and structures. We conclude that only 13 % of the oxides simultaneously satisfy the last four rules, indicating a much lower predictive power than expected.

Abstract
Dielectric materials that can realize downsizing and higher performance in electric devices are in demand. Perovskite-type materials of the form ABO3 are potential candidates. However, because of the numerous conceivable compositions of perovskite-type oxides, finding the best composition is technically difficult. To obtain a reasonable guideline for material design, we aim to clarify the relationship between the dielectric constants and other physical and chemical properties of perovskite-type oxides using first-principles density functional theory (DFT) and partial least-squares regression analysis. The more important factors affecting the dielectric constants are predicted based on variable importance in projection (VIP) scores. The dielectric constant strongly correlates with the ionicity of the B cations and the density of states of the conduction bands of the B cations.

Abstract
Herein, we demonstrate how to predict and experimentally validate phase diagrams for multi-component systems from a high-dimensional virtual space of all possible phase diagrams involving several elements based on small existing experimental data. The experimental data for bulk phases for known systems represents a sampling from this space, and screening the space allows multi-component phase diagrams with given design criteria to be built. This approach uses machine learning methods to predict phase diagrams and Bayesian experimental design to minimize experiments for refinement and validation, all within an active learning loop. The approach is proven by predicting and synthesizing the ferroelectric ceramic system (1-ω)(Ba0.61Ca0.28Sr0.11TiO3)-ω(BaTi0.888Zr0.0616Sn0.0028Hf0.0476O3) with a relatively high transition temperature and triple point, as well as the NiTi-based pseudo-binary phase diagram (1-ω)(Ti0.309Ni0.485Hf0.20Zr0.006)-ω(Ti0.309Ni0.485Hf0.07Zr0.068Nb0.068) designed for high transition temperature (ω ⩽ 1). Each phase diagram is validated and optimized through only three new experiments. The complexity of these compounds is beyond the reach of today's computational methods.

Abstract
Cost versus accuracy trade-offs are frequently encountered in materials science and engineering, where a particular property of interest can be measured/computed at different levels of accuracy or fidelity. Naturally, the most accurate measurement is also the most resource and time intensive, while the inexpensive quicker alternatives tend to be noisy. In such situations, a number of machine learning (ML) based multifidelity information fusion (MFIF) strategies can be employed to fuse information accessible from varying sources of fidelity and make predictions at the highest level of accuracy. In this work, we perform a comparative study on traditionally employed single-fidelity and three MFIF strategies, namely, (1) Δ-learning, (2) low-fidelity as a feature, and (3) multifidelity cokriging (CK) to compare their relative prediction accuracies and efficiencies for accelerated property predictions and high throughput chemical space explorations. We perform our analysis using a dopant formation energy data set for hafnia, which is a well-known high-k material and is being extensively studied for its promising ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and pyroelectric properties. We use a dopant formation energy data set of 42 dopants in hafnia-each studied in six different hafnia phases-computed at two levels of fidelities to find merits and limitations of these ML strategies. The findings of this work indicate that the MFIF based learning schemes outperform the traditional SF machine learning methods, such as Gaussian process regression and CK provides an accurate, inexpensive and flexible alternative to other MFIF strategies. While the results presented here are for the case study of hafnia, they are expected to be general. Therefore, materials discovery problems that involve huge chemical space explorations can be studied efficiently (or even made feasible in some situations) through a combination of a large number of low-fidelity and a few high-fidelity measurements/computations, in conjunction with the CK approach.

Abstract
A method has been developed to measure the similarity between materials, focusing on specific physical properties. The information obtained can be utilized to understand the underlying mechanisms and support the prediction of the physical properties of materials. The method consists of three steps: variable evaluation based on nonlinear regression, regression-based clustering, and similarity measurement with a committee machine constructed from the clustering results. Three data sets of well characterized crystalline materials represented by critical atomic predicting variables are used as test beds. Herein, the focus is on the formation energy, lattice parameter and Curie temperature of the examined materials. Based on the information obtained on the similarities between the materials, a hierarchical clustering technique is applied to learn the cluster structures of the materials that facilitate interpretation of the mechanism, and an improvement in the regression models is introduced to predict the physical properties of the materials. The experiments show that rational and meaningful group structures can be obtained and that the prediction accuracy of the materials' physical properties can be significantly increased, confirming the rationality of the proposed similarity measure.

Abstract
In this study, we develop a computer-aided material design system to represent and extract knowledge related to material design from natural language texts. A machine learning model is trained on a text corpus weakly labeled by minimal annotated relationship data (~100 labeled relationships) to extract knowledge from scientific articles. The knowledge is represented by relationships between scientific concepts, such as {annealing, grain size, strength}. The extracted relationships are represented as a knowledge graph formatted according to design charts, inspired by the process-structure-property-performance (PSPP) reciprocity. The design chart provides an intuitive effect of processes on properties and prospective processes to achieve the certain desired properties. Our system semantically searches the scientific literature and provides knowledge in the form of a design chart, and we hope it contributes more efficient developments of new materials.

Abstract
An outstanding challenge in the nascent field of materials informatics is to incorporate materials knowledge in a robust Bayesian approach to guide the discovery of new materials. Utilizing inputs from known phase diagrams, features or material descriptors that are known to affect the ferroelectric response, and Landau-Devonshire theory, we demonstrate our approach for BaTiO3-based piezoelectrics with the desired target of a vertical morphotropic phase boundary. We predict, synthesize, and characterize a solid solution, (Ba0.5Ca0.5)TiO3-Ba(Ti0.7Zr0.3)O3, with piezoelectric properties that show better temperature reliability than other BaTiO3-based piezoelectrics in our initial training data.

Abstract
The theoretical understanding of phosphor luminescence is far from complete. To accomplish a full understanding of phosphor luminescence, the data mining of existing experimental data should receive equal consideration along with theoretical approaches. We mined the crystallographic and luminescence data of 75 reported Eu(2+)-doped phosphors with a single Wyckoff site for Eu(2+) activator accommodation, and 32 descriptors were extracted. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) based on a structural equation model (SEM) was employed since it has been helpful in understanding complex problems in social sciences and in bioinformatics. This first attempt at applying CFA to the data mining of engineering materials provided a better understanding of the structural and luminescent-property relationships for LED phosphors than what we have learnt so far from the conventional theoretical approaches.

Abstract
In this review, we provide an overview of the development of quantitative structure-property relationships incorporating the impact of data uncertainty from small, limited knowledge data sets from which we rapidly develop new and larger databases. Unlike traditional database development, this informatics based approach is concurrent with the identification and discovery of the key metrics controlling structure-property relationships; and even more importantly we are now in a position to build materials databases based on design 'intent' and not just design parameters. This permits for example to establish materials databases that can be used for targeted multifunctional properties and not just one characteristic at a time as is presently done. This review provides a summary of the computational logic of building such virtual databases and gives some examples in the field of complex inorganic solids for scintillator applications.

Abstract
This paper highlights the capability of materials informatics to recreate “property phase diagrams” from an elemental level using electronic and crystal structure properties. A judicious selection of existing data mining techniques, such as Principal Component Analysis, Partial Least Squares Regression, and Correlated Function Expansion, are linked synergistically to predict bandgap and lattice parameters for different stoichiometries of GaxIn1−xAsySb1−y, starting from fundamental elemental descriptors. In particular, five such elemental descriptors, extracted from within a database of highly correlated descriptors, are shown to collectively capture the widely studied “bowing” of energy bandgaps seen in compound semiconductors. This is the first such demonstration, to our knowledge, of establishing relationship between discrete elemental descriptors and bandgap bowing, whose underpinning lies in the fundamentals of solid solution thermodyanamics.
