Abstract
A method of materials design through multi-disciplinary use of materials information, “materials curation”, is presented. Examples of materials design or prediction of material behavior, such as work function tuning in binary alloy systems and a guideline of thermoelectric material search, by utilizing already existing various information on materials are demonstrated. The method utilizes materials information in different fields, for example, device physic+surface physics+metallurgy, or growth kinetics+crystallography+phase diagram. To make such multi-disciplinary use of materials information easier, a tool that enables anyone to connect various physical quantities in different fields has been under development.
