Darwin4Matter: A Platform Integrating Machine Learning and Quantum Chemistry for New Materials Design
摘要
Machine learning (ML) has emerged to play a more and more important role in material science. Here, we develop a platform named Darwin4Matter that integrates machine learning and quantum chemistry for new materials discovery. The framework consists of six steps: quantum chemistry prediction, Δ-machine learning correction, molecular augmentation, machine learning prediction, molecular production, and verification. Using this platform, we start from a very small dataset and design three new functional molecules with high refractive indexes in the visible spectrum, which serves as the capping layer of organic light-emitting diode devices for improving light extraction efficiency. The superior performance over currently used materials has been verified experimentally, exhibiting significant commercial value in the field of advanced display materials.
