Prescreening Point Defects in Semiconductors With Machine Learning

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 13, 2026 · UTC

High-throughput calculations using density-functional theory (DFT) are commonly used to explore point defects for applications in power electronics and quantum technologies. There is currently a major shift away from these traditional simulation techniques towards machine learning (ML) methods. We explore a class of physics-guided ML models for predicting defect formation energies and zero-phonon lines (ZPL) to identify point defects for quantum applications. The models are specifically targeted for use in a prescreening step for accelerated high-throughput workflows, and are therefore designe
