Unveiling the principle descriptor for predicting the electron inelastic mean free path based on a machine learning framework

MDR Open Deposited

The TPP-2M formula is the most popular empirical formula for the estimation of the electron inelastic mean free paths (IMFPs) in solids from several simple material parameters. The TPP-2M formula, however, poorly describes several materials because it relies heavily on the traditional least-squares analysis. Herein, we propose a new framework based on machine learning to overcome the weakness. This framework allows a selection from an enormous number of combined terms (descriptors) to build a new formula that describes the electron IMFPs.
