The team made their model simple and reliable enough so that any user can obtain the melting temperature within seconds for any compound based only on its chemical formula. “To use the model, a user needs to visit the webpage and input the chemical compositions of the material of interest,” said Hong. “The model will respond with a predicted melting temperature in seconds, as well as the actual melting temperatures of the nearest neighbors (i.e., the most similar materials) in the database. Thus, this model serves as not only a predictive model, but a handbook of melting temperature as well.” The model, hosted by ASU’s Research Computing Facilities, is now publicly available at the ASU webpage: https://faculty.engineering.asu.edu/hong/melting-temperature-predictor/.
