Oct 31, 2025 New preprint predicting and understanding thermal conductivities of sulfur-based argyrodites
We studied Ag₈TS₆ (T = Si, Ge, Sn) argyrodites using two modeling approaches—a Grüneisen-based phonon lifetime model and machine-learned interatomic potentials—to predict lattice thermal cond[…] Find the preprint here: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2510.23133
Sep 01, 2025 Namrata Jaykhedkar joins our group as an Adolf Martens fellow!!
Namrata started to work as an Adolf Martens fellow in our group. This fellowship is a postdoc fellowship awarded by BAM. She will work on appyling ML interatomic potentials to battery materials!
Aug 31, 2025 New preprint on magnetism heuristics in machine learning
We have published a preprint on magnetism heuristics in machine learning of magnetic properties. We show that bond angles are indeed important for magnetic properties. Please take a look at the preprint here: https://doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2025-xj84d
