Machine-learning-driven advances in modelling amorphous solids

Structurally disordered materials continue to pose fundamental research questions. Some of the most central ones concern the atomic-scale structure: how can we quantify an amorphous (non-crystalline) structure at all; how is the structure linked to properties? In this presentation, I will showcase recent advances in the modelling and understanding of amorphous materials that have been enabled by atomistic machine-learning approaches. I will demonstrate how atomistic ML models have given new insight into the complex structural and electronic transitions in amorphous silicon under high pressure [1], and I will discuss initial applications and future perspectives in the area of battery materials modelling [2].
