Machine-learning-backed evolutionary exploration of the SrTiO3(110) surface phase diagram — •Ralf Wanzenböck1, Florian Buchner1, Michele Riva2, Jesús Carrete3, 1, and Georg K. H.

We use Clinamen2, a modern functional-style Python implementation of the covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES), to gain insights into the lesser-known regions of the complex SrTiO3(110) surface phase diagram. To speed up the process, we leverage the transferability of a neural-network force field (NNFF) implemented on top of the state-of-the-art JAX framework.

Starting from smaller reconstructions in well-explored phases, such as the 4× 1 surface reconstruction [Wanzenböck et al., Digit Discov 1, 703-710 (2022)], the NNFF is iteratively refined using an active learning workflow that relies on uncertainty estimation techniques [Carrete et al., J. Chem. Phys 158, 204801 (2023)]. We show how this workflow and the underlying uncertainty metric lead to a flexible NNFF, highlighted by the exploration of out-of-sample SrTiO3(110)-(2× n) reconstructions.
