Abstract Scope |
Perovskites rare earth nickelates are promising materials for neuromorphic computing architectures. The resistive switching in these materials can be induced via electron doping (e.g. creating oxygen vacancies[OVs]), however standard computational methods are prohibitively expensive to study the dynamics of the OVs over nano-meter and nano-second length and timescales. In order to bridge this gap, we have recently developed deep neural network (DNN) models from DFT+U data for SmNiO3 as a representative of the rare earth nickelates. With these models, we have been able to investigate the atomistic details of the defect dynamics in SmNiO3 over nanoscale length and time. Our models can also predict atomic bader charges and maximally localized wannier centers. In this talk, I will discuss the application of DNN models to unveil the correlation between the structural and electronic properties, and its impact on the transport barriers for OVs in oxygen-deficient rare-earth nickelates. |
