Abstract
Machine learning (ML) has gained extensive attention in recent years due to its powerful data analysis capabilities. It has been successfully applied to many fields and helped the researchers to achieve several major theoretical and applied breakthroughs. Some of the notable applications in the field of computational nanotechnology are ML potentials, property prediction, and material discovery. This review summarizes the state-of-the-art research progress in these three fields. ML potentials bridge the efficiency versus accuracy gap between density functional calculations and classical molecular dynamics. For property predictions, ML provides a robust method that eliminates the need for repetitive calculations for different simulation setups. Material design and drug discovery assisted by ML greatly reduce the capital and time investment by orders of magnitude. In this perspective, several common ML potentials and ML models are first introduced. Using these state-of-the-art models, developments in property predictions and material discovery are overviewed. Finally, this paper was concluded with an outlook on future directions of data-driven research activities in computational nanotechnology.
