Homework¶
Reading¶
These papers can all be found in this Google Drive folder.
We recommend revisiting the paper by Petousis et al. on the dielectric constants datatset [1]. Even if you read it once before, it never hurts to do another pass!
(optional) The review article by J. Robertson on “High dielectric constant oxides” [2].
This is a pretty hefty article that goes deep into bonding, interfaces, defects, band structures… so please only skim up to and including Section 2.4. This will help set the stage for tomorrow’s discussion of research and materials selection/screening, where Mark will explain most of the scientific concepts in more detail.
Programming¶
There are no specific programming assignments today, although we do recommend reviewing the ML exercises from today, which covered quite a lot of information in a very short amount of time. If you want to get a deeper understanding of cost functions and optimization, we invite you to look at the gradient descent section.
