Phonon-informed Crystal Structure Classification via Precision-Adaptive ResNet-based Confidence Ensemble

Accurate description of crystal structures is a prerequisite for predicting the physicochemical properties of materials. However, conventional X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization often encounters intrinsic bottlenecks when applied to complex multiphase systems, necessitating the integration of complementary optical measurement. In this study, we developed a multi-descriptor framework by integrating key parameters including space groups, Pearson symbols, and Wyckoff sequences, to categorize the dataset of over 19,000 crystals into several dozen structural prototypes. Then, an accuracy-adaptive ensemble network based on residual architectures was implemented to capture structural ``fingerprints" within phonon vibration modes and Raman spectra. The ensemble algorithm demonstrates exceptional robustness when processing various crystals of varying lengths and quality. This data-driven classification strategy not only overcomes the reliance of traditional characterization on ideal data but also provides a high-throughput tool for the automated analysis of material structures in large-scale experimental workflows.

Synergy of Rashba and Topological Effects for High-Performance Bismuth-Based Thermoelectrics

Band convergence is a key strategy for enhancing thermoelectric (TE) performance. Herein, we demonstrate a promising approach to enhance band convergence through inducing Rashba splitting in topological insulators. Theoretically designed Janus $\beta$-Bi$_2$Se$_2$Te and $\beta$-Bi$_2$Te$_2$Se exhibited inherent topological band inversion and Rashba splitting due to the strong spin-orbit coupling (SOC) with broken inversion symmetry. These characteristics synergistically improve band convergence, leading to a substantially enhanced power factor. Meanwhile, the Janus structural asymmetry suppresses lattice thermal conductivity. Consequently, Janus structures achieve boosted TE performance, especially for $\beta$-Bi$_2$Se$_2$Te, peaking figure of merit ($zT$) of 2.82. This work establishes a new framework for designing Janus topological compounds with high TE performance by the synergistic effect of Rashba splitting and band inversion.
