Researchers from the University of Oxford and Xi’an Jiaotong University Introduce an Innovative Machine-Learning Model for Simulating Phase-Change Materials in Advanced Memory Technologies
Understanding phase-change materials (PCMs) and developing cutting-edge memory technologies can greatly benefit from computer simulations. However, direct quantum-mechanical simulations have limitations in handling complex models. To address this, researchers from the University of Oxford and Xi’an Jiaotong University have developed a machine learning model that can assist with atomic-scale simulations of PCMs, accurately recreating the conditions under which these devices function.
Their model, presented in a study published in Nature Electronics, can generate high-fidelity simulations quickly, providing users with a deeper understanding of PCM-based devices’ operation. The machine learning-based potential model is trained using quantum-mechanical data and enables simulations of various compositions of phase-change materials under realistic device settings.
Key Findings:
- The machine learning model allows for atomistic simulations of numerous heat cycles and delicate operations for neuro-inspired computing.
- Simulations under actual device geometries and conditions are made possible, providing insights into atomistic processes and mechanisms in PCMs.
- The model’s increased speed and precision enable the simulation of memory devices with over 500,000 atoms.
- The model was trained using a dataset of labeled quantum mechanical data, gradually improving its accuracy and performance.
- ML-driven simulations scale linearly with the size of the model system, allowing for easy extension to larger and more complex device geometries.
