Abstract

The use of advanced machine learning algorithms in experimental materials science is limited by the lack of sufficiently large and diverse datasets amenable to data mining. If publicly open, such data resources would also enable materials research by scientists without access to expensive experimental equipment. Here, we report on our progress towards a publicly open High Throughput Experimental Materials (HTEM) Database (htem.nrel.gov). This database currently contains 140,000 sample entries, characterized by structural (100,000), synthetic (80,000), chemical (70,000), and optoelectronic (50,000) properties of inorganic thin film materials, grouped in >4,000 sample entries across >100 materials systems; more than a half of these data are publicly available. This article shows how the HTEM database may enable scientists to explore materials by browsing web-based user interface and an application programming interface. This paper also describes a HTE approach to generating materials data and discusses the laboratory information management system (LIMS) that underpins the HTEM database. Finally, this manuscript illustrates how advanced machine learning algorithms can be adopted to materials science problems using this open data resource.

Introduction

Machine learning is a branch of computer science concerned with algorithms that can develop models from the available data, reveal trends and correlation in this data, and make predictions about unavailable data. The predictions rely on data mining, the process of discovering patterns in large data sets using statistical methods. Machine learning methods have been recently successful in process automation, natural language processing, and computer vision, where large databases are available to support data-driven modeling efforts. These successes also sparked discussions about the potential of artificial intelligence in science[1] and the Fourth Paradigm[2] of data-driven scientific discovery. In materials science, applying artificial intelligence to data-driven materials discovery is important, because new materials often underpin major advances in modern technologies. For example, in advanced energy technologies, efficient solid state lighting was enabled by the use of gallium nitride in light-emitting diodes, electric cars were brought to life by intercalation materials used in lithium-ion batteries, and modern computers would not have been possible without the material silicon.

In computational materials science[3], machine learning methods have been recently used to predict structure[4], stability[5], and properties[6] of inorganic solid state materials. These results had been enabled by advances in simulation tools at multiple length scales.[7] The resulting simulated materials data are stored in ever-growing publicly-accessible computational property databases.[8][9][10] In contrast to computations, experimental materials discovery using machine learning is limited by the dearth of large and diverse datasets (Fig. 1). Large experimental datasets like the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database (ICSD)[11] contain hundreds of thousands of entries but are not diverse enough, as they contain only composition and structure of the materials. The diverse datasets like Landolt–Börnstein (http://materials.springer.com/)[12] or AtomWorks (http://crystdb.nims.go.jp/index_en.html)[13] contain hundreds to thousands of entries for different properties, so they are not large enough for training modern machine learning algorithms. Furthermore, none of these datasets contains synthesis information such as temperature or pressure, which is critical to making materials with target properties. Thus, machine learning for experimental materials research so far has focused on adoption of existing algorithms suitable for relatively small but complex datasets, such as collections of x-ray diffraction patterns[14], microscopy images[15], or materials microstructure.[16]
