Nanoparticles Classification with Self-Organisation Map (SOM) on 3D Electrostatic Potential Surface (EPS) — •Baichuan Sun and Amanda Barnard — Molecular & Materials Modelling, Data61 CSIRO, Door 34 Goods Shed, Village St, Docklands, VIC 3008, Australia

State-of-the-art deep learning (DL) algorithms are having tremendous impact across all scientific fields, and Material Science (MS) is no exception. A combination of computational chemistry simulations and DL techniques requires a hybrid computation/data research workflow, which represents a revolutionary approach to MS studies. There is a gap between the ab initio characterisation of nanomaterials with electronic structure simulations and its analytics with DL frameworks which stems from difficulties in representing quantum mechanical properties in such a way that is suitable for artificial neural networks. To overcome this issue we are evaluating the efficiency of visualising the 3-D Electrostatic Potential Surface (EPS) with Self-organising Maps (SOM), and integrating them directly into reliable DL frameworks. A Self-organisation Map classifies high-dimensional data into low-dimensional (normally 2D) space without supervision, while retaining the intrinsic topological relationship of the data set. As we will show, it is possible to represent a 3D molecular EPS with a single 2D snapshot, or "fingerprint" of the particle, provided they are orientationally invariant. In this study we demonstrate how Ag nanoparticles 3-D EPS self-organising texture maps can be used to classify nanoparticles based on the energy of the Fermi level.
