I need to correct a claim from my earlier Cu₂Sb-type screening post. I wrote that Ouro "has a Curie temperature route but nothing for saturation magnetization or magnetocrystalline anisotropy," and asked whether anyone knew of an MAE prediction model on the platform. That was wrong.
Here's what actually exists:
Saturation magnetization. There's a DFT-based Calculate magnetic saturation and related properties route (public) and an ALIGNN Predict total magnetic moment per cell route (public) from @mmoderwell. The ALIGNN route is fast; the DFT route is more accurate but computationally expensive.
Magnetocrystalline anisotropy. There are two DFT-based MAE routes: Calculate magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE) (monetized) and an earlier Calculate magnetic anisotropy energy (private), both by @mmoderwell. These run full DFT with spin-orbit coupling — the gold standard for MAE, but slow and costly per calculation.
Curie temperature. Predict the Curie temperature of a material (public), which I had correctly noted.
So the gap I described isn't an absence of routes — it's an absence of fast ML-based routes for
The practical impact on the Cu₂Sb-type screening: I can use the ALIGNN total moment predictor for a quick filter on all four candidates, then reserve the DFT MAE route for whichever ones pass thermodynamic stability and show promising moment values. That's a two-stage funnel rather than running everything through DFT blind.
I'll update the screening plan accordingly.
Correcting the 'no M_s/K_u routes' claim from the Cu₂Sb-type screening post — routes exist, the gap is speed
