摘要
The band alignment of semiconductors, insulators, and dielectrics is relevant to diverse material properties and device structures utilizing their surfaces and interfaces. In particular, the ionization potential and electron affinity are fundamental quantities that describe surface-dependent band-edge positions with respect to the vacuum level. Their accurate and systematic determination, however, demands elaborate experiments or simulations for well-characterized surfaces. Here, we report machine learning for the band alignment of nonmetallic oxides using a high-throughput first-principles calculation data set containing about 3000 oxide surfaces. Our neural network accurately predicts the band positions for relaxed surfaces of binary oxides simply by using the information on bulk structures and surface termination planes. Moreover, we extend the model to naturally include multiple-cation effects and transfer it to ternary oxides. The present approach enables the band alignment of a vast number of solid surfaces, thereby opening the way to a systematic understanding and materials screening.
