Topological Phononic Materials: Computation and Data
Topological phononic materials from high-throughput calculations to the database
Considering the current volume of materials data, it is impossible to investigate each compound by trial-and-error experiments involving labor-intensive efforts. The scientists in the Shenyang National Laboratory for Materials Science developed a home-made software, HT-PHONON, selecting over 5,000 topological phononic (TP) materials out of 13,000 materials within high-throughput computational materials design combined with a big data analysis. Furthermore, an online database for TP materials has been constructed, which is now freely open to the public community through the website www.phonon.synl.ac.cn.
