Prediction of the Ground-State Electronic Structure from Core-Loss Spectra of Organic Molecules by Machine Learning.

ABSTRACT: The core-loss spectrum reflects the partial density of states (PDOS) of the unoccupied states at the excited state and is a powerful analytical technique to investigate local atomic and electronic structures of materials. However, various molecular properties governed by the ground-state electronic structure of the occupied orbital cannot be directly obtained from the core-loss spectra. Here, we constructed a machine learning model to predict the ground-state carbon s- and p-orbital PDOS in both occupied and unoccupied states from the C K-edge spectra. We also attempted an extrapolation prediction of the PDOS of larger molecules using a model trained by smaller molecules and found that the extrapolation prediction performance can be improved by excluding tiny molecules. Besides, we found that using smoothing preprocess and training by specific noise data can improve the PDOS prediction for noise-contained spectra, which pave a way for the application of the prediction model to the experimental data.
