Merged summary

TL;DR - Thermodynamic interatomic potentials extend static energy models to predict Gibbs free energies and thermodynamic responses for crystalline materials. This could enable high-throughput discovery of finite-temperature phase stability.

  • TIP[UMA] builds on the universal UMA potential and learns free energies across quasi-harmonic and molecular-dynamics fidelity levels.
  • Automatic differentiation yields temperature- and pressure-dependent thermodynamic responses.
  • A single evaluation can produce a crystal’s equation of state and identify phase transitions, including dynamically stabilized phases.
  • Fine-tuning supports alloy solubility limits and miscibility-gap predictions.
