Understanding the chemistry and nature of individual chemical bonds is essential for materials design. Bonding analysis via the LOBSTER software package has provided valuable insights into the properties of materials for thermoelectric and catalysis applications. Thus, the data generated from
bonding analysis becomes an invaluable asset that could be utilized as features in large-scale data analysis and machine learning of material properties. However, no systematic studies exist that conducted high-throughput materials simulations to curate and validate bonding data obtained from LOBSTER. Here we present an approach to constructing such a large database consisting of quantum-chemical bonding information.
Bonds and local atomic environments are crucial descriptors of material properties. They have been used to create design rules and heuristics for materials. More and more frequently, they are used as features in machine learning. Implementations and algorithms (e.g., ChemEnv and LobsterEnv) for identifying these local atomic environments based on geometrical characteristics and quantum-chemical bonding analysis are nowadays available. Fully automatic workflows and analysis tools have been developed to use quantum-chemical bonding analysis on a large scale and for machine-learning approaches. The latter relates to a general trend toward automation in density functional-based materials science. The lecture will demonstrate how our tools, that assess local atomic environments, helped to test and develop heuristics and design rules and an intuitive understanding of materials.
