SUMMARY:UDL#23 - Is AI Really Useful for Materials Science?
DESCRIPTION:The Office of Dean-Research is organising the 23rd edition of the University Distinguished Lecture inviting Prof. Stefano Sanvito\, Professor and Chair of Condensed Matter Theory\, School of Physics and Director\, CRANN (Centre for Research on Adaptive Nanostructures and Nanodevices)\, Trinity College Dublin\, Ireland. \nTitle of the Lecture: “Is AI Really Useful for Materials Science?” \nAbstract \nAI and machine learning have rapidly become important tools for our daily life\, providing assistance over many tasks. These\, however\, often concern relatively low-stake domains\, such as idea generation\, text summarisation\, automated paper writing/ reviewing\, etc. The physical sciences\, however\, demand far more: accuracy at the level of experimental validation\, reproducibility across thousands of steps and the orchestration of a vast and diverse toolset. \nIn this talk I will describe our attempts at integrating machine-learning and AI methods into materials science\, by looking at rather different domains. Firstly\, I will discuss a machine-learning scheme for predicting the Curie temperature of ferromagnets\, which uses solely the chemical composition of a compound as feature and experimental data as target [1]. In particular\, I will discuss how to develop meaningful feature attributes for magnetism and how these can be informed by experimental and theoretical results. Furthermore\, I will show how the experimental data can be mined from published scientific literature with the help of natural language processing tools [2]. \nThen\, I will describe how an accurate description of the structure of materials\, which is amenable to be used with machine learning\, can offer a quantum-chemistry-accurate description of local properties at virtually no computational costs. This is based on a newly developed cluster expansion formulated in terms of Jacobi-Legendre polynomials. Such general framework allows us to construct\, on the same footing\, extremely accurate force fields [3] as well as converged electron densities [4]. These can both be integrated in material-discovery workflows generating unprecedented speedup. \nFinally\, I will present two examples of how visual-graphic techniques can be integrated into materials science. In the first case autoencoder neural networks will be used to denoise scanning electron transmission microscopy images [5]\, thus allowing us to perform microscopy on fragile samples\, which rapidly degrade under electron irradiation. In the second case\, I will use movie- enhancement methods to provide high-resolution tomographic maps of complex materials complexes [6]. Importantly\, the same method can also be used for medical imaging and can be incorporated in medical devices. \n[1] Physical Review Materials 3\, 104405 (2019). \n[2] npj Computational Materials 9\, 222 (2023). \n[3] Physical Review B 108\, 094102 (2023). \n[4] npj Computational Materials 9\, 87 (2023). \n[5] Machine Learning: Science and Technology 4\, 015025 (2023). \n[6] Nature Communications 15\, 7962 (2024).

SUMMARY:9th Eminent Guest Lecture on Sustainable Clean Thorium Energy
DESCRIPTION:The Office of Dean-Research\, SRM University-AP hosts the 9th Eminent Guest Lecture by renowned academician Dr Ganapati Myneni\, Director\, VT-India Nuclear Energy Partnership and Adjunct Faculty\, Virginia Tech\, Virginia\, USA on March 23\, 2026. \nTitle of the Talk – “Clean Air and Water with Sustainable Clean Thorium Energy” \nAbstract \nClean air and water are essential to the health of living beings. Solar\, wind\, and hydro power sources are helping to some extent to reduce the polluting CO2 and NOX emissions. However\, we need distributed base load reliable power that can also serve as backup to intermittent renewable energy sources. Nuclear is the obvious choice. \nIn this presentation\, let us explore the Photonuclear eMMR (Advanced Subcritical Molten Salt Reactor)\, which is being developed by BSCE (Brahma Sakti Clean Energy) as a collaboration with many international Institutions. The eMMR represents a paradigm shift due to its unique U-233 breeder and burner disruptive technology. The eMMR utilises a molten salt (FLiBe) with the addition of ThF fuel. The photo neutrons that will allow breeding of U-233 from fertile Thorium are internally produced with commercially available electron accelerators that are highly reliable. These low-cost eMMRs of 1 MWth are uniquely positioned to be built at several Institutions for training the much-needed nuclear workforce for fulfilling the SHANTI Act of 2025. \nThe Photonuclear eMMR provides a scalable\, non-proliferative solution to the industrial sector’s thermal energy demands as well\, offering a path to full decarbonization without compromising high-temperature performance.

SUMMARY:10th Eminent Guest Lecture by Prof. Adisak Boonchun
DESCRIPTION:The Office of Dean-Research and Department of Physics\, SRM University-AP are jointly organising the 10th edition of the Eminent Guest Lecture Series on June 16\, 2026. The university welcomes Prof. Adisak Boonchun\, Associate Professor\, Department of Physics\, Faculty of Science\, Kasetsart University\, Bangkok\, Thailand\, to deliver a lecture on “Machine Learning Methods in Materials Simulation”. \nAbstract \nIn computational materials science\, we always face a big problem: choosing between accuracy and speed. Density Functional Theory (DFT) is very accurate for studying atoms\, but it requires too much computer power. Because of this\, standard DFT can only simulate small systems with a few hundred atoms for a very short time. This makes it very difficult to study real-world properties like heat transport\, defects\, or phase changes. \nThis lecture introduces how machine learning (ML) is breaking this limit. Today\, we demonstrate the use of Machine Learning Force Fields (MLFF). Instead of solving complex systems\, an on-the-fly MLFF model can learn the relationship between atomic structures and energy from a small set of DFT data. This allows us to run simulations with DFT-level accuracy but at the speed of simple classical models. \nAs a real example\, this talk will show how we use ML methods to calculate the lattice thermal conductivity of semiconductors. We will discuss how to train the model efficiently to simulate heat transport in large systems\, which is impossible with standard DFT alone. Finally\, we will talk about the current challenges of AI in physics and look at the future of automated materials simulation.

SUMMARY:11th Eminent Guest Lecture by Prof. Yeoh Keat Hoe
DESCRIPTION:The Office of Dean-Research and the Department of Physics are jointly organising the 11th Eminent Guest Lecture on the topic “Transition Metal-Doped 2D GaN with improved catalytic performance for lithium–sulfur batteries: Insights from a first-principles study” on June 18\, 2026. Prof. Yeoh Keat Hoe\, Associate Professor\, Jeffrey Sachs Center on Sustainable Development\, Sunway University\, Malaysia\, will deliver the session. \nAbstract \nLithium–sulfur (Li–S) batteries are regarded as one of the most promising next-generation energy storage technologies due to their exceptionally high theoretical energy density. However\, their commercial deployment remains hindered by the polysulfide shuttle effect and the sluggish kinetics of the sulfur reduction reaction (SRR)\, which involves a complex 16-electron conversion pathway. Recent experimental studies have demonstrated that coating sulfur cathodes with GaN nanosheets effectively suppresses polysulfide shuttling and improves cycling stability compared with conventional Li–S batteries. The polar nature of GaN promotes strong interactions with lithium polysulfides (LiPSs)\, while the relatively low atomic masses of Ga and N help preserve the high energy density of the system. Motivated by these findings\, we employed first-principles density functional theory calculations to systematically screen transition-metal (TM) single-atom dopants on two-dimensional (2D) GaN for enhanced SRR electrocatalysis. Our results reveal that the key liquid-to-solid conversion step\, Li₂S₄ → Li₂S\, exhibits a linear correlation with the SRR overpotential\, described by Based on the resulting volcano relationship\, Pd@GaN and Cu@GaN emerge as the most promising catalysts\, each exhibiting an overpotential of 0.43 V. Both single-atom catalysts remain thermally stable on the 2D GaN substrate and display strong adsorption toward high-order lithium polysulfides (Li₂Sₙ\, n = 4\, 6\, and 8)\, with binding energies ranging from −1.81 to −2.99 eV\, indicating excellent capability for suppressing the shuttle effect. These findings provide fundamental insights into the SRR mechanism on TM-doped 2D GaN and offer valuable design principles for developing high-performance single-atom catalysts for advanced Li–S batteries.

SUMMARY:ACCMS Webinar-41 by Prof. Stefan Blügel
DESCRIPTION:The Office of Dean-Research is organising the 41st webinar under the Asian Consortium on Computational Materials Science (ACCMS) Global Centre on July 28\, 2026. Prof. Stefan Blügel\, Quantum Theory of Materials (PGI-1)\, Peter Grünberg Institute\, Institute for Theoretical Physics\, RWTH Aachen University\, will deliver the webinar on the topic “Chiral Magnons and Anisotropic Damping in Metallic Altermagnets”. \nAbstract \nAltermagnetism\, a novel class of magnetic order\, has recently attracted the scientific interest. Combining the favourable properties of ferromagnets\, such as spin polarised conduction electrons\, with the advantages of antiferromagnets\, such as zero net magnetisation and high-frequency switching\, it is a promising area of research [1]. While the ground state properties of altermagnets have been studied\, their dynamic properties\, such as magnon dispersions\, remain elusive. Understanding these properties includes the investigation of magnon excitations\, which is essential for the development of spintronic and magnonic devices based on altermagnets. In altermagnets\, the chiral magnon degeneracy of antiferromagnets is lifted along certain wave-vector directions and chiral magnons emerge as a consequence of exchange interactions and crystal symmetry\, rather than from spin-orbit coupling. Unlike chiral magnets\, where chirality originates from the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction in noncentrosymmetric systems\, altermagnetic chiral magnons arise from the momentum-dependent spin splitting enforced by symmetry\, even in centrosymmetric materials. In this presentation\, results are presented of our recent investigation [2] on the interplay between electronic band spin splitting and chiral magnon excitations in a series of metallic g-wave altermagnets of 3d-transition-metal pnictides\, TmPn\, in the NiAs structure with a 3d element (Tm=V\, Cr)\, and a pnicogen (Pn= As\, Sb\, Bi) using density functional theory and many-body perturbation theory [3]. The latter theory allows a coherent investigation of Stoner and magnon excitations in metallic magnets. For example\, we find that the magnon damping due to Stoner excitations is highly wavevector-dependent\, reaching substantial values in specific Brillouin zone regions. I relate to recent RIXS experiments [4-6] on CrSb that confirmed the presence of polarization-dependent magnon modes.
