Researchers Tomohito Amano and Shinji Tsuneyuki of the University of Tokyo with Tamio Yamazaki of CURIE (JSR-UTokyo Collaboration Hub) have developed a new machine learning model to predict the dielectric function of materials, rather than calculating from first-principles. The dielectric function measures the polarization of negative and positive charges within materials, the phenomenon underlying dielectric materials. Thus, the fast and accurate prediction of dielectric function facilitates the development of novel dielectric materials, an ingredient of many cutting-edge technologies such as 6G networks. The findings were published in the journal Physical Review B.
