| Abstract Scope |
Machine-learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) enable near–first-principles accuracy at molecular-dynamics scales, making them ideal for studying complex ceramics where DFT is size-limited. We built a compact, distortion-augmented dataset from convex-hull structures and trained an equivariant neural-network MLIP, then benchmarked universal MLIPs (MACE, SevenNet, MatterSim) on the same test cases. All showed comparable accuracy; SevenNet was used for efficient large-scale perovskite simulations, while MACE was ultimately selected for high-entropy carbides (HECs) due to stronger transferability for interfacial chemistry. NPT MD captures BaTiO₃’s orthorhombic→tetragonal→cubic phase sequence and associated cation off-centering, and preliminary BiFeO₃ results suggest correlated, multi-domain-like ferroelectric states. For HECs, coupled Monte Carlo/MD reveals grain-boundary segregation trends and how low-melting solutes can promote interfacial premelting. A simple mixing–disorder metric is used to explain composition-dependent interfacial behavior and guide grain-boundary-aware alloy design. |
