===Data mining and machine learning===
The HTEM DB provides researchers an opportunity to explore composition, structure and properties of materials from a large number of diverse chemical systems, calling for application of data mining and machine learning techniques. In this section we discuss two examples of applications of such statistical methods to HTEM DB: (1) unsupervised learning (clustering) to support visualization and building understanding of the contents of the database, and (2) supervised learning (prediction) to build predictive models for key materials properties.
One challenge that arises when analyzing large and diverse experimental datasets like the HTEM DB is inferring relationships between samples and meaningfully grouping those samples. In practice, the database collects measurements from many isolated experiments in different chemical systems and with diverse research aims. In order to extract broad knowledge from the resulting collection of data, it is useful to group similar samples synthesized at different times and for different purposes. As shown in Fig. 7, we have attempted to visualize 70,000+ measured samples’ compositions in a single plot.

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]

Figure 1. Schematic scatter plot of the size vs. diversity of materials data in existing databases. The computational databases (red circles) are large and diverse. In contrast, experimental databases are either large or diverse, limiting application of machine learning algorithms.

One potential machine learning solution to create large and diverse materials datasets is natural language processing[17][18] from research articles published in scientific literature. However, the overwhelming majority of journal publications in experimental materials science is limited to what authors subjectively perceive as the most interesting of results, leading to large amounts of unpublished dark data.[19] Furthermore, the published papers are often biased towards positive research results[20], since the publication of failed experiments is discouraged in scientific literature. Such biased exclusion of negative results is a problem for machine learning, because many algorithms require both positive and negative results for efficient training. Finally, a very small fraction of these journal article publications are linked to the corresponding publications of underlying data, despite the increasing requirements from funding agencies[21] and encouragement from scientific journals[22] to make research data available to the public.

Here we describe our progress towards the High Throughput Experimental Materials (HTEM) Database (htem.nrel.gov). The HTEM DB is the first publicly available large collection of experimental data for inorganic materials synthesized using high-throughput experimental (HTE) thin film techniques. Currently, HTEM DB contains information about synthesis conditions, chemical composition, crystal structure, and optoelectronic property measurements of the materials. First, we provide an overview of the HTEM DB content, generated using the HTE experiments, and collected using materials data infrastructure. Next, we explain how to find, filter, and visualize the database content using its web interface on the example of one dataset. Finally, we illustrate how to perform machine learning on these data, using both supervised and unsupervised algorithms. More detailed technical information about the underlying experimental and data infrastructure of HTEM DB, as well as the machine learning algorithms, is provided in the Methods section of the paper.

Results

Database infrastructure and content

HTEM DB contains information about inorganic materials synthesized in thin film form, a combination that lends itself to high-throughput experimentation. The thin film sample libraries included in HTEM DB (semiconductors, metals, and insulators) are synthesized using combinatorial physical vapor deposition (PVD) methods, and each individual sample on the library is measured using spatially-resolved characterization techniques (Fig. 2). The selection of the materials to be synthesized is usually based on computational predictions or prior experimental literature, and on specific target applications (e.g., solar cell materials, transparent contacts, piezoelectrics, photoelectrochemical absorbers, etc.). Promising materials that result from the combinatorial synthesis and spatially resolved characterization are often optimized further using more traditional experimentation methods. A brief description of these high-throughput experimental techniques is provided in the Method section and in specialized review articles[23], with the focus on electronic and energy materials. Other classes of materials that are amenable to high-throughput experimentation, such as organic polymers[24] or homogeneous catalysts[25], are not discussed in this paper because they are currently not included in HTEM DB.


Fig2 Zakutayev SciData2018 5.jpg

Figure 2. Schematic illustration of high-throughput synthesis and characterization thin film approach, with composition and temperature gradients across the substrate. The materials for the HTE experiments are selected based on inputs from computations or literature, and the outputs of the HTE experimentation are the candidate materials for further optimization for specific applications.

As of 2018, there are 141,574 entries of thin film inorganic materials in HTEM DB. These entries are arranged in 4,356 sample libraries, distributed across approximately 100 unique materials systems. The content of HTEM DB is graphically summarized in Fig. 3 in a form of a bar-chart of the 28 most common metallic elements. The majority of these metallic elements appear in the form of compounds (oxides 45%, chalcogenides 30%, nitrides 20%), but a few also form intermetallics (5%). The reported data for these materials include synthesis conditions such as temperature (83,600), x-ray diffraction patterns (100,848), composition and thickness (72,952), optical absorption spectra (55,352), and electrical conductivities (32,912). Out of all the sample entries, only about 10% have been described in peer-reviewed literature, and the remaining 80–90% have not been published before. Currently, more than a half (50–60%) of all the measured properties are publicly available; the rest belongs to privately-funded projects and to ongoing or legacy public projects, for which data still needs to be curated.

Figure 3. Metallic elements present in the HTEM DB, as determined from x-ray fluorescence measurement data and deposition precursor metadata. The majority of these elements are in form of oxide, nitride or chalcogenide compounds, with a few intermetallic compounds.

As shown in Fig. 4, HTEM DB described here leverages NREL’s custom laboratory information management system (LIMS), developed over many years in close collaboration between materials researchers, database architects, programmers, and computer scientists. First, the materials data is automatically harvested from synthesis and characterization instruments into a data warehouse, an archive of materials data and metadata files. Next, the extract-transform-load (ETL) process aligns synthesis and characterization data and metadata into the HTEM database with object-relational architecture. Finally, an application programming interface (API) is used for consistent interaction between client applications of data consumers (e.g., web user interface, statistical analysis programs) and the HTEM database. For example, the web user interface (web-UI) at htem.nrel.gov provides the interface for materials scientists around the world without access to unique high-throughput experimentation equipment, to visualize a few selected datasets at a time, even if they did not generate these data. As another example, the API at hrem-api.nrel.gov allows computer scientists to access a larger number of material datasets for data mining and machine learning purposes. Both of these types of access to large and diverse materials data in HTEM DB are likely to unleash the creativity of researchers in unexpected ways that are difficult to foresee at the moment. More technical details about the database infrastructure and underlying information management system are provided in the Methods section.


Fig4 Zakutayev SciData2018 5.jpg

Figure 4. NREL Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) for materials research enables the HTEM DB. The LIMS system is responsible for automatically harvesting, indexing and archiving measurement data and synthesis metadata into data warehouse. The extract-transform-load (ETL) process aggregates selected data in a custom relational database (HTEM DB). The HTEM DB is accessed by web-based user interface and other analysis and visualization programs via a standards-based API.

Database exploration and use

The most common mode of user interaction with HTEM DB is through its custom web-based interface at htem.nrel.gov. First, the database can be searched for the sample libraries of materials containing the elements of interest. Second, the search results can be filtered based on a number of criteria, including synthesis conditions, data quality/completeness, and other metadata. Finally, the filtered search results can be visualized and analyzed interactively, or downloaded for more detailed analysis on the scientist’s computer. Below, we briefly discuss each of these web-interface features as of 2018; please refer to htem.nrel.gov for more updated information.

The first step of interacting with the HTEM DB is to search for the sample libraries for the material of interest (Fig. 5a). The landing Search page shows a periodic table where the elements can be selected with either "all" or "any" search option. The "all" search option means that all the selected elements (and potentially other elements) have to be present in the sample in order to get search results. The "any" search option means that as long as any of the selected elements are present, the search will return results. More advanced search logic is planned to be added in the future. At the top of the search page (as well as all subsequent pages), general information about HTEM DB can be found, including About, Stats, and API. This information is regularly updated, in contrast to this paper, so users are encouraged to check there frequently for any updates or changes of HTEM DB.


Fig5 Zakutayev SciData2018 5.jpg

Figure 5. Examples of search and filter pages of the current version of HTEM DB. The search page (a) enables users to select the elements of interest, whereas the filter page (b) facilitates down-selection of the search results based on deposition conditions and other materials metadata.

Once the search is performed, the resulting Filter page (Fig. 5b) shows the list of sample libraries that meet the search criteria, and includes a sidebar for further down-selection of the results. The list of sample libraries has three possible views, each with progressively larger number of descriptors: compact (database sample ID, data quality, measured properties, included elements), detailed (+deposition chamber, sample number, synthesis/measurement date, and the person that generated the sample), and complete (+synthesis parameters such as targets/power, gasses/flows, substrate/temperature, pressure, and time). The five-star data quality scale (3-star value for uncurated data) was introduced in an attempt to enable each user to find their own balance between the quantity and the quality of the data being analyzed. This and all other descriptors can be used to sort the results of the search, or down-select them using the sidebar on the left hand side of the page. In addition, the sample library can be manually selected or unselected using the check mark boxes on the right hand side of the page. Once the filtering process is complete, the search results can be shared with other users using the "share filter" option that generates a unique web link, and the properties of the down-selected sample libraries can be explored by clicking the "visualize" button. Because of the large amount of available data, it is recommended to limit the number of the visualized sample libraries to less than 10–20 at this time to avoid long loading times.

The properties view of the Visualize page of the HTEM DB is a set of three user-definable plots for each selected sample library. For each of these three groups of plots, y-axis, x-axis, a color scale, and a point size can be defined using the drop-down menus. Both linear and logarithmic plots are available. Examples of the scalar variables that can be plotted in this way currently include x/y coordinates on the sample on the library, chemical composition of each constituent element, sample thickness, and its various properties, including electrical (sheet resistance, its standard deviation, resistivity, conductivity, etc.), optical (e.g., band gap, average visible transmittance), and structural (number of peaks in XRD pattern). Multi-library plots for comparing multiple sample libraries on one plot are planned for the future. The spectra view of the Properties page is arranged in a similar way as the properties view, with plots corresponding to structural information (i.e., x-ray diffraction patterns) and optical properties (i.e., absorption spectra) for each of the selected sample libraries, plottable on either linear or logarithmic scales. Currently, the axes of these plots cannot be defined by the user; however, this feature is planned for the future.

Clicking the "library details" button on either "spectra" or "properties" views of the Visualize page brings up the detailed information about the sample library from the Filter page. Similarly, clicking on the "library summary" button leads to a summary page with the sample library information, properties, and spectra. For example, Fig. 6 shows part of the library summary view for one Zn-Ni-Co-O sample library (https://htem.nrel.gov/#/samples/6701). According to XRF results (Fig. 6a), there is a linear Zn composition gradient across the sample library (color scale), whereas the thickness does not change much across the sample library (point size). The conductivity (Fig. 6b) also changes across the sample library (color scale), whereas the direct band gap remains approximately constant (point size). Putting together these two datasets (Fig. 6c), it becomes clear that the conductivity (plotted on the logarithmic scale) reaches the maximum value of 4 S/cm at the Zn composition of 33%, regardless of direct band gap (color scale) and the thickness (point size). The underlying XRD patterns (Fig. 6d) and optical absorption spectra (Fig. 6e) can also be displayed. This example illustrates how the Visualize page can be used to explore and analyze the data in HTEM DB. More types of properties and spectra will be added to the database in the future.


Fig6 Zakutayev SciData2018 5.jpg

Figure 6. Example property and spectra plots in HTEM DB for one Zn-Ni-Co-O sample library. Panel (a) is a composition (color) and thickness (size), panel (b) is conductivity (color) and its direct bandgap (size), both as a function of x and y position on the sample library. Panel (c) is the summary analysis plot of logarithm of conductivity vs composition, with direct band gap as a color scale, and thickness as point size. Panels (d) and (e) are the underlying x-ray diffraction patterns, and the optical absorption spectra, respectively.

Since the HTEM DB web interface (https://htem.nrel.gov/) is meant for basic exploration of data, its data analysis functionality is limited to making simple property and spectra plots within a few datasets, as described above. For more detailed analysis beyond what’s available in the HTEM DB web interface, the users can download the datasets of interest[26] and analyze them using the software packages of their choice (MatLab, Mathematica, Igor, R, Python, etc.). This can be accomplished using "download" buttons on the Property and Spectra pages (also planned for the Filter page) that save the data in simple CSV format. For easier analysis across a larger number of datasets, users are encouraged to use a full-featured and open API (https://htem-api.nrel.gov/), where data is also available in several other commonly used materials-specific formats, such as NIST’s MDCS format[27] and Citrine’s MIF format.[28] The API data access rather than data download is recommended for the most current results, since HTEM DB content is updated regularly, as additional data becomes available, as data processing bugs are fixed, and as data is curated based on its consistency.

Data mining and machine learning

The HTEM DB provides researchers an opportunity to explore composition, structure and properties of materials from a large number of diverse chemical systems, calling for application of data mining and machine learning techniques. In this section we discuss two examples of applications of such statistical methods to HTEM DB: (1) unsupervised learning (clustering) to support visualization and building understanding of the contents of the database, and (2) supervised learning (prediction) to build predictive models for key materials properties.

One challenge that arises when analyzing large and diverse experimental datasets like the HTEM DB is inferring relationships between samples and meaningfully grouping those samples. In practice, the database collects measurements from many isolated experiments in different chemical systems and with diverse research aims. In order to extract broad knowledge from the resulting collection of data, it is useful to group similar samples synthesized at different times and for different purposes. As shown in Fig. 7, we have attempted to visualize 70,000+ measured samples’ compositions in a single plot. The t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) algorithm with package-default settings collapses a sparsely populated 30+ dimensional compositional space into two dimensions, which may be visualized easily.[29] This approach is an application of unsupervised machine learning and dimensionality reduction, that has not been used before for machine learning in materials science.[14]
