A modeling study highlights NiPt- and CoIr-based alloy families as the main source of its largest predicted anomalous Hall and Nernst responses. The authors propose exchange splitting, the separation between spin channels, as a way to choose parent compounds for chemical substitution. The findings are computational predictions from a virtual crystal screen.
A hierarchical modeling workflow screened 30,364,908 generated structures and produced 97 predicted room-temperature solid-state electrolyte candidates, most of them halides. Agreement with independent experimental halide patterns was a consistency check, not direct validation.
