Machine learning the relationship between Debye temperature and superconducting transition temperature

Recently a relationship between the Debye temperature $Θ_D$ and the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$ of conventional superconductors has been proposed [Esterlis et al., npj Quantum Mater. 3, 59 (2018)]. The relationship indicates that $T_c$ ≤ $AΘ_D$ for phonon-mediated BCS superconductors, with $A$ being a prefactor of order ~ $0.1$. In order to verify this bound, we train machine learning (ML) models with 10 330 samples in the Materials Project database to predict $Θ_D$. Here, by applying our ML models to 9860 known superconductors in the NIMS SuperCon database, we find that the conventional superconductors in the database indeed follow the proposed bound. We also perform first-principles phonon calculations for $\mathrm{H_3S}$ and $\mathrm{LaH_{10}}$ at 200 GPa. The calculation results indicate that these high-pressure hydrides essentially saturate the bound of $T_c$ versus $Θ_D$.

Roadmap on artificial intelligence and big data techniques for superconductivity

This paper presents a roadmap to the application of AI techniques and big data (BD) for different modelling, design, monitoring, manufacturing and operation purposes of different superconducting applications. To help superconductivity researchers, engineers, and manufacturers understand the viability of using AI and BD techniques as future solutions for challenges in superconductivity, a series of short articles are presented to outline some of the potential applications and solutions. These potential futuristic routes and their materials/technologies are considered for a 10–20 yr time-frame.
