Still, the community awaits universal inter-atomic models that can be applied toa wide range of materials without tuning neural network parameters. We develop a unified deeplearning inter-atomic potential (the DPA-Semi model) for 19 semiconductors ranging from group IIB to VIA, including Si, Ge, SiC, BAs, BN, AlN, AlP, AlAs, InP, InAs, InSb, GaN, GaP, GaAs, CdTe, InTe, CdSe, ZnS, and CdS. In addition, independent deep potential models for each semiconductor are prepared for detailed comparison. The training data are obtained by performing density functional theory calculations with numerical atomic orbitals basis sets to reduce the computational costs. We systematically compare various properties of the solid and liquid phases of semiconductors between different machine-learning models. We conclude that the DPA-Semi model achieves GGA exchange-correlation functional quality accuracy and can be regarded as a pretrained model towards a universal model to study group IIB to VIA semiconductors.  \n1. Introduction  \nSemiconductor materials play a crucial role in the development of modern society. In particular, the IIB to VIA group semiconductors, which are compound semiconductors composed of elements from groups IIB to VIA of the periodic table, possess excellent optoelectronic properties and are widely used in photovoltaic, optoelectronics, thermoelectrics, and other energy conversion fields. 1, 2, 3, 4 For example, silicon carbide (SiC) has found widespread industrial applications because of its excellent wear resistance, corrosion resistance, elevated temperature strength, as well as its high thermal conductivity and wide band gap.5, 6, 7, 8 Boron arsenide (BAs) was initially synthesized in 1958 9 but was recently confirmed to possess high charge carrier mobility and thermal conductivity. 10, 11, 12 Therefore, there is a promising prospect of utilizing this material to alleviate the current bottleneck issue in chip cooling. On the other hand, state-of-the-art simulation tools can complement experiments by elucidating experimental phenomena or predicting experimental outcomes, thereby providing invaluable information or better design principles.  \nAmong the simulation tools, the atomistic-level simulation tools can describe interactions of semiconductors from a microscopic perspective, providing valuable insights into the fundamental processes governing the behavior of semiconductor materials. In particular, quantum-mechanicsbased first-principles methods are able to predict the properties of semiconductors without reliance on experimental data. Among them, density functional theory (DFT) 13, 14 is one of the most widely used methods that can predict various properties of semiconductor materials. 15, 16, 17 Taking SiC asan example, it exists in various polytypes such as the 3C, 2H, 4H, and 6H structures, etc. Among them, the 3C structure is a cubic crystal lattice","cbCaikhs5BPjPKi7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikhs5BPjPKi7","pdf",2339734,1,32,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Background: Semiconductors and simulation needs\n## DFT and its limitations for large-scale industrial systems\n## Machine-learning interatomic potentials and deep potential models\n# Method and model scope\n## Unified DPA-Semi model for group IIB to VIA semiconductors\n## DFT-based training data and computational setup\n# Comparative evaluation\n## Solid and liquid phase property comparisons\n## Performance assessment vs deep potential baselines\n# Conclusion","[{\"question\":\"What problem does the DPA-Semi work target for group IIB–VIA semiconductors?\",\"answer\":\"It targets the absence of universal interatomic models that work across many semiconductors without needing neural network parameter tuning.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the DPA-Semi model trained to balance accuracy and computational cost?\",\"answer\":\"Training data come from density functional theory calculations using numerical atomic orbitals basis sets to reduce computational costs while maintaining first-principles quality.\"},{\"question\":\"What materials and phase types are included in the evaluation?\",\"answer\":\"The unified model covers 19 semiconductors spanning group IIB to VIA, and properties are systematically compared for both solid and liquid phases.\"}]","Machine-Learning-Based Interatomic Potentials for Group IIB to VIA Semiconductors -
