Guided search for desired functional responses via Bayesian optimization of generative model: Hysteresis loop shape engineering in ferroelectrics

Abstract

Advances in predictive modeling across multiple disciplines have yielded generative models capable of high veracity in predicting macroscopic functional responses of materials. Correspondingly, of interest is the inverse problem of finding the model parameter that will yield desired macroscopic responses, such as stress-strain curves, ferroelectric hysteresis loops, etc. Here we suggest and implement a Gaussian Process based methods that allow to effectively sample the degenerate parameter space of a complex non-local model to output regions of parameter space which yield desired functionalities. We discuss the specific adaptation of the acquisition function and sampling function to make the process efficient and balance the efficient exploration of parameter space for multiple possible minima and exploitation to densely sample the regions of interest where target behaviors are optimized. This approach is illustrated via the hysteresis loop engineering in ferroelectric materials, but can be adapted to other functionalities and generative models. The code is open-sourced and available at [github.com/ramav87/Ferrosim].
