New dataset PhononBench-MP40 aids computational materials screening

Researchers have introduced PhononBench-MP40, a new dataset designed to improve the accuracy of computational materials screening by addressing the issue of imaginary phonon modes. This dataset, derived from Materials Project crystals, provides stability labels and spectral data for nearly 47,000 workflow tasks. It aims to serve as a reference for classifying phonon stability, analyzing minimum frequencies, and understanding workflow-defined stability. AI

IMPACT Enhances AI-driven materials discovery by providing a more reliable dataset for stability predictions.

    PhononBench-MP40: a spectrum-resolved benchmark dataset for phonon stability

    arXiv:2607.22573v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Imaginary phonon modes remain a practical bottleneck in computational materials screening because otherwise plausible structures can be locally dynamically unstable under a chosen workflow. Here we present PhononBench-MP40, a spectr…
