Abstract

Elpasolite is the predominant quaternary crystal structure (${\mathrm{AlNaK}}_{2}{\mathrm{F}}_{6}$ prototype) reported in the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database. We develop a machine learning model to calculate density functional theory quality formation energies of all $\ensuremath{\sim}2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{6}$ pristine $AB{C}_{2}{D}_{6}$ elpasolite crystals that can be made up from main-group elements (up to bismuth). Our model's accuracy can be improved systematically, reaching a mean absolute error of $0.1\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{eV}/\mathrm{atom}$ for a training set consisting of $10\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{3}$ crystals. Important bonding trends are revealed: fluoride is best suited to fit the coordination of the $D$ site, which lowers the formation energy whereas the opposite is found for carbon. The bonding contribution of the elements $A$ and $B$ is very small on average. Low formation energies result from $A$ and $B$ being late elements from group II, $C$ being a late (group I) element, and $D$ being fluoride. Out of $2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{6}$ crystals, 90 unique structures are predicted to be on the convex hull---among which is ${\mathrm{NFAl}}_{2}{\mathrm{Ca}}_{6}$, with a peculiar stoichiometry and a negative atomic oxidation state for Al.

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.
