## Description

- description: |
    Input data used to calculate the lattice thermal conductivities of
    CdTe.
  description_type: abstract
  lang: en
- description: |
    Initial geometry optimization of the conventional unit cell, standardized by
    the spglib code, was performed using the VASP code with the PBEsol
    exchange-correlation functional. Supercell forces and energies were
    calculated using the VASP code, and these data were used to develop
    polynomial machine learning potentials (MLPs) with the pypolymlp code. The
    generated MLPs are stored in polymlp.yaml.xz. Parameters required for the
    non-analytical term correction (Born effective charges and dielectric
    constants) were calculated using the VASP code with the primitive cell.
    These VASP results are provided in phonopy_training_dataset.yaml.xz, and the
    VASP input configurations can be found in vasp-settings.tar.xz. The
    primitive cell, unit cell, and supercell structures used for the VASP
    calculations are also provided in phonopy_training_dataset.yaml.xz. The
    internal atomic positions of the supercell were then optimized using the
    pypolymlp code under symmetry constraints; the relaxed structure can be
    found in phonopy_mlp_eval_fc2_dataset.yaml.xz (or
    phono3py_mlp_eval_fc3_disp.yaml.xz). Second-order force constants (fc2) can
    be calculated using the phonopy and symfc codes with the displacement–force
    dataset evaluated by the pypolymlp code, which is stored in
    phonopy_mlp_eval_fc2_dataset.yaml.xz. Third-order force constants (fc3) can
    be calculated using the built-in finite difference approach in the phono3py
    code with the displacement–force dataset stored in
    phono3py_mlp_eval_fc3_disp.yaml.xz (displacements) and FORCES_FC3.xz
    (forces). As an example, lattice thermal conductivities (LTCs) were
    calculated using the phono3py code with fc2 and fc3, and the calculation log
    is provided in LTC-calc.log. The harmonic phonon band structure and density
    of states are plotted in band_pdos.png. The band path was generated using
    the SeeK-path code.
