With the development of modern nanoscience and nanotechnology, Bi1-xSbx can be synthesized into different nanoscale and nanostructured forms, including thin films, nanowires, nanotubes, nanoribbons, and many others. However, due to the strong correlation between electrons and holes at the L-point in the Brillouin zone, the direct band evolves in an anomalous manner under the quantum confinement when nanostructured. Due to the alloying and the low symmetry, predicting the L-point direct bandgap in a nanomaterial using either ab initio calculations or kp perturbations can be computationally costive or inaccurate. We here try to solve this problem using the machine learning methods, including the support vector regression, the regression tree, the Gaussian process regression, and the artificial neural network. A goodness-of-fit of ~0.99 can be achieved for Bi1-xSbx thin films and nanowires. |
