First-principles prediction of electronic transport in fabricated semiconductor heterostructures via physics-aware machine learning

Abstract First-principles techniques for electronic transport property prediction have seen rapid progress in recent years. However, it remains a challenge to predict properties of heterostructures incorporating fabrication-dependent variability. Machine-learning (ML) approaches are increasingly bei...
