• Abstract summary: Metallic Glasses (MGs) are widely used materials that are stronger than steel while being shapeable as plastic. We utilize Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to model MGs and study EBs. We contribute a new dataset for EB prediction and a novel Symmetrized GNN (SymGNN) model that is E(3)-invariant in expectation.

• Abstract: Metallic Glasses (MGs) are widely used materials that are stronger than steel while being shapeable as plastic. While understanding the structure-property relationship of MGs remains a challenge in materials science, studying their energy barriers (EBs) as an intermediary step shows promise. In this work, we utilize Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to model MGs and study EBs. We contribute a new dataset for EB prediction and a novel Symmetrized GNN (SymGNN) model that is E(3)-invariant in expectation. SymGNN handles invariance by aggregating over orthogonal transformations of the graph structure. When applied to EB prediction, SymGNN are more accurate than molecular dynamics (MD) local-sampling methods and other machine-learning models. Compared to precise MD simulations, SymGNN reduces the inference time on new MGs from roughly 41 days to less than one second. We apply explanation algorithms to reveal the relationship between structures and EBs. The structures that we identify through explanations match the medium-range order (MRO) hypothesis and possess unique topological properties. Our work enables effective prediction and interpretation of MG EBs, bolstering material science research.

  The present study proposes a graph-based representation for modeling medium-entropy alloys (MEAs) Hybrid Monte-Carlo molecular dynamics (MC/MD) simulations are employed to achieve thermally stable structures across various annealing temperatures in an MEA. These simulations generate dump files and potential energy labels, which are used to construct graph representations of the atomic configurations. These graphs then serve as input for a Graph Convolutional Neural Network (GCNN) based ML model to predict the system's potential energy.

We then perform a neural-architecture search to explore the model architecture and hyper parameter space of MPNNs to predict the band gaps of the materials identified as non-metals. The top-performing models from the search are pooled into an ensemble that significantly outperforms existing models from the literature.

  Graph neural networks (GNNs) are emerging machine learning models on graphs. Permutation-equivariance and proximity-awareness are two important properties highly desirable for GNNs. We show that existing GNNs, mostly based on the message-passing mechanism, cannot simultaneously preserve the two properties. In order to preserve node proximities, we augment the existing GNNs with node representations.
