| Abstract Scope |
The atomic structure of grain boundaries plays a defining but poorly understood role in the properties they exhibit. Due to the complex nature of these structures, machine learning is a natural tool for extracting meaningful relationships and new physical insight. We present efforts to characterize the GB atomic structure at different length-scales using a few different methods. These include the smooth overlap of atomic positions (SOAP), local environment representation (LER) and a new structural representation, called the scattering transform. The scattering transform uses wavelet-based convolutional neural networks to characterize the complete three-dimensional atomic structure of a grain boundary. The success of the various metrics is evaluated by machine learning to predict GB energy, mobility, and shear coupling. A discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of the various methods is discussed. |
