Abstrakt: Self-consistent field (SCF) analysis is an indispensable tool for predicting the microphase separation structures of polymer alloys. However, the computation of the phase-separated structures in the equilibrium state is computationally intensive, leading to high costs. To address this challenge, we propose a novel deep learning approach that leverages a generative adversarial network (GAN), a powerful deep generative model, to accelerate SCF analysis. Specifically, we trained the GAN using comprehensive data obtained from SCF analysis, enabling us to generate various images of feasible structures that are similar to the SCF analysis results. Our results demonstrate that the latent variables in the GAN are linked to the physical parameters and features of the phase-separation structures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
