The ab initio non-crystalline structure database: empowering machine learning to decode diffusivity by Hui Zheng, Eric Sivonxay, Rasmus Christensen, Max Gallant, Ziyao Luo, Matthew McDermott, Patrick Huck, Morten M. Smedskjær, Kristin A. Persson

“…These models predict the Li-ion diffusivity with speed and accuracy, offering a cost-effective alternative to expensive density functional theory (DFT) calculations. Furthermore, the process of computational quenching non-crystalline structures provides a unique sampling of out-of-equilibrium structures, energies, and force landscape, and we anticipate that the corresponding trajectories will inform future work in universal machine learning potentials, impacting design beyond that of non-crystalline materials. …”
