Abstract

A priori prediction of phase stability of materials is a challenging practice, requiring knowledge of all energetically competing structures at formation conditions. Large materials repositories—housing properties of both experimental and hypothetical compounds—offer a path to prediction through the construction of informatics-based, ab initio phase diagrams. However, limited access to relevant data and software infrastructure has rendered thermodynamic characterizations largely peripheral, despite their continued success in dictating synthesizability. Herein, a new module is presented for autonomous thermodynamic stability analysis, implemented within the open-source, ab initio framework AFLOW. Powered by the AFLUX Search-API, AFLOW-CHULL leverages data of more than 1.8 million compounds characterized in the AFLOW.org repository, and can be employed locally from any UNIX-like computer. The module integrates a range of functionality: the identification of stable phases and equivalent structures, phase coexistence, measures for robust stability, and determination of decomposition reactions. As a proof of concept, thermodynamic characterizations have been performed for more than 1300 binary and ternary systems, enabling the identification of several candidate phases for synthesis based on their relative stability criterion—including 17 promising C 15 b -type structures and 2 half-Heuslers. In addition to a full report included herein, an interactive, online web application has been developed showcasing the results of the analysis and is located at aflow.org/aflow-chull .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
