摘要
Perovskite oxides are a promising material platform for use in a wide range of technological applications including electronics, sensors, fuel cells, and catalysis. This is owing to the extraordinary tunability of their physical and chemical properties via defect engineering. The feasibility and the stability of a defect, such as a substitutional dopant, in the host lattice is usually obtained via experiments and/or through detailed quantum mechanical calculations. Both of these conventional routes are expensive and time consuming. An alternative is a data-driven machine learning (ML)-based approach. In this work, we have applied ML techniques to identify the factors that influence defect formation energy, which is an important measure of the stability of the defects, in perovskite oxides. Using 13 elemental properties as features and random forest regression, we demonstrate a systematic approach to down-selecting from the larger set of features to those that are important, establishing a framework for accurate predictions of the defect formation energy. We quantitatively show that the most important factors that control the dopant stability are the dopant ionic size, heat of formation, effective tolerance factor, and oxidation state. Our work reveals previously unknown correlations, chemical trends, and the interplay between stability and underlying chemistries. Hence, these results showcase the efficacy of ML tools in identifying and quantifying different feature-dependencies and provide a promising route toward dopant selection in the perovskites. We have developed a framework that itself is general and can be potentially applied to other material classes.
