Fast and accurate prediction of material properties with three-body tight-binding model for the periodic table.


ABSTRACT: Parametrized tight-binding models fit to first-principles calculations can provide an efficient and accurate quantum mechanical method for predicting properties of molecules and solids. However, well-tested parameter sets are generally only available for a limited number of atom combinations, making routine use of this method difficult. Furthermore, many previous models consider only simple two-body interactions, which limits accuracy. To tackle these challenges, we develop a density functional theory database of nearly 1 000 000 materials, which we use to fit a universal set of tight-binding parameters for 65 elements and their binary combinations. We include both two-body and three-body effective interaction terms in our model, plus self-consistent charge transfer, enabling our model to work for metallic, covalent, and ionic bonds with the same parameter set. To ensure predictive power, we adopt a learning framework where we repeatedly test the model on new low-energy crystal structures and then add them to the fitting data set, iterating until predictions improve. We distribute the materials database and tools developed in this paper publicly.
