PyQAlloy-compatible Model for D Parameter prediction based on Hu2021

License:

This repository contains a PyQAlloy-compatible compositionalModel, compatible with ULTERA Database (ultera.org) infrastructure, for D Parameter Prediction Based on Yong-Jie Hu 2021 (10.1016/j.actamat.2021.116800) that accepts a chemical formula string of an alloy or a pymatgen.Composition object. It return:

Output Order: [gfse, surf, dparam]

Output Meaning (all based on 10.1016/j.actamat.2021.116800):

• gfse - Genralized Stacking Fault Energy (GSF) [J/m^2]
• surf - Surface Energy (Surf) [J/m^2]
• dparam - D Parameter [unitless] calculated as surf/gfse

Install and use

To run this model you will need Python 3.9+ and R 4.1.0+ installed on your system, ideally before you install this software. For Python, we recommend you use a virtual Conda environment, which chan be created with minimal effort (see Miniconda install instructions). For R, it can be downloaded pre-compiled from a Comprehensive R Archive Network repository (e.g. Case CRAN) and should work on most systems, including ARM-based (e.g. Apple M1).

If you have Python and R, you can simply install this model with:

pip install pqam_dparamhu2021

Then, use should be as simple as:

import pqam_dparamhu2021

print(pqam_dparamhu2021.predict("W30 Mo25 Ta45"))

---

In some cases, required locfit R package may not be installed automatically. If you get an error message about it, try to go to your R console, typically by typing R in your terminal, and install it manually with:

install.packages("locfit")

Or, if you are automating things and need a single-liner, on Mac OS and Linux, the following should work:

Rscript -e "install.packages('locfit', repos='http://cran.us.r-project.org')"

Hu's README File

Hello, thank you for your interest in our work! Here we provide a script written in R language to take an alloy composition of interest and correspondingly predict the GSF energy, surface energy, and the >ductility parameter based on the SL models in our manuscript ( https://doi.org/10.1016/j.actamat.2021.116800) To run the script and make predictions, you need to:

1. Download the RStudio platform. (https://www.rstudio.com/) ## No worry, it is open access 😊
2. Put all the files you downloaded from Materials Commons (basically all our files) into one local folder
3. Open the “predict.R” file in RStudio, input the alloy composition there, execute every line there, and the prediction will jump out in the console window >below.

Please contact [e-mail] or [e-mail] if you have any questions.

P.S., “predict_screen_4nary_all.csv” is the original data for plotting Figure 7&8 in the manuscript. Other figures in the manuscript can be reproduced by the data >listed in the tables in the manuscript.
