The thermodynamic scale of inorganic crystalline metastability

The space of metastable materials offers promising new design opportunities for next-generation technological materials, such as complex oxides, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, steels, and beyond. Although metastable phases are ubiquitous in both nature and technology, only a heuristic understanding of their underlying thermodynamics exists. We report a large-scale data-mining study of the Mat...

Inference of Surface Parameters from Near-Infrared Spectra of Crystalline H2O Ice with Neural Learning

The near-infrared spectra of icy volatiles collected from planetary surfaces can be used to infer surface parameters, which in turn may depend on the recent geologic history. The high dimensionality and complexity of the spectral data, the subtle differences between the spectra, and the highly nonlinear interplay between surface parameters make it often difficult to accurately derive these surf...
