| contents | The calculation of material phonon thermal conductivity from density functional theory calculations requires computationally expensive evaluation of anharmonic interatomic force constants and has remained a computational bottleneck in the high-throughput discovery of materials. In this work, we present a machine learning-assisted approach for the extraction of anharmonic force constants through local learning of the potential energy surface. We demonstrate our approach on a diverse collection of 220 ternary materials for which the total computational time for anharmonic force constants evaluation is reduced by more than an order of magnitude from 480,000 cpu-hours to less than 12,000 cpu-hours while preserving the thermal conductivity prediction accuracy to within 10%. Our approach removes a major hurdle in computational thermal conductivity evaluation and will pave the way forward for the high-throughput discovery of materials. |
