| Abstract Scope |
In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in electron-phonon superconductors. However, a significant barrier in high-throughput screening of potential superconductors lies in the prohibitively expensive calculation of the Eliashberg spectral function (a2F), a key determinant of the superconducting critical temperature. Our past work on developing a bootstrapped ensemble of tempered equivariant graph neural networks (BETE-NET) has shown the ability of machine learning to bypass the costly a2F calculations. In this talk, I will detail the improved second-generation BETE-NET models, which were trained on an order of magnitude more data and obtained prediction MAEs of just 0.9K for critical temperature. I will then describe our AI-accelerated workflow that leverages elemental substitution, machine-learned interatomic potentials, and BETE-NET to identify novel superconductors. The preliminary search has already confirmed 30 candidates with critical temperatures greater than 5K, and among them, 8 with a critical temperature greater than 15K. |
