The miscibility of Au and Li exhibits a potential application as an adhesion layer and electrode material in secondary batteries. Here, to explore alloying properties, we constructed a neural network potential (NNP) of Au-Li binary systems…
Nested sampling is a promising method for calculating phase diagrams of materials, however, the computational cost limits its applicability if ab-initio accuracy is required. In the present work, we report on the efficient use of a…
The phase diagram of water harbours many mysteries: some of the phase boundaries are fuzzy, and the set of known stable phases may not be complete. Starting from liquid water and a comprehensive set of 50 ice structures, we compute the…
High-entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted increasing attention due to their unique structural and functional properties. In the study of HEAs, thermodynamic properties and phase stability play a crucial role, making phase diagram…
The Co$_3$O$_4$ spinel is an important material in oxidation catalysis. Its properties under catalytic conditions, i.e., at finite temperatures, can be studied by molecular dynamics simulations, which critically depend on an accurate…

Constructing an accurate atomistic model for the high-pressure phases of tin (Sn) is challenging because properties of Sn are sensitive to pressures. We develop machine-learning-based deep potentials for Sn with pressures ranging from 0 to…
