Scientific paper

Data mining is a recognized predictive tool in a variety of areas ranging from bioinformatics and drug design to crystal structure prediction. In the present study, an electronic structure implementation has been combined with structural data from the Inorganic Crystal Structure Database to generate results for highly accelerated electronic structure calculations of about 22,000 inorganic compounds. It is shown how data mining algorithms employed on the database can identify new functional materials with desired materials properties, resulting in a prediction of 136 novel materials with potential for use as detector materials for ionizing radiation. The methodology behind the automatized ab-initio approach is presented, results are tabulated and a version of the complete database is made available at the internet web site http://gurka.fysik.uu.se/ESP/ (Ref.1).
