Machine learning dynamics of phase separation in correlated electron magnets

Abstract

We demonstrate machine-learning enabled large-scale dynamical simulations of electronic phase separation in double-exchange system. This model, also known as the ferromagnetic Kondo lattice model, is believed to be relevant for the colossal magnetoresistance phenomenon. Real-space simulations of such inhomogeneous states with exchange forces computed from the electron Hamiltonian can be prohibitively expensive for large systems. Here we show that linear-scaling exchange field computation can be achieved using neural networks trained by datasets from exact calculation on small lattices. Our Landau-Lifshitz dynamics simulations based on machine-learning potentials nicely reproduce not only the nonequilibrium relaxation process, but also correlation functions that agree quantitatively with exact simulations. Our work paves the way for large-scale dynamical simulations of correlated electron systems using machine-learning models.
