# Magnet-Anisotropy-Screening

A calibrated screening dataset of computed magnetocrystalline anisotropy for uniaxial rare-earth-free inorganic crystals: **3,573 screened structures, 2,242 anisotropy labels** (2,044 flagged reliable), with relaxed structures for 88% of labeled entries and a **287-compound high-accuracy calibration tier that quantifies the per-label error**.

Magnetocrystalline anisotropy is the property that makes a permanent magnet hard, and it is absent from every large public materials database because computing it requires fully-relativistic density functional theory. Each label here carries the anisotropy constant K1, saturation magnetization Ms, the dimensionless magnetic hardness κ = √(K1/µ₀Ms²), and the easy-axis direction, alongside Curie temperature, hull stability, and, for gate-passing compounds, micromagnetic energy-product estimates over 2,000 sampled microstructures.

## Quick start

```python
from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("willgbryan13/magnet-anisotropy-screening", split="train")
row = ds[0]
print(row["record_id"], row["composition"], row["kappa_corrected"], row["easy_axis"])
```

Or directly with pandas:

```python
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_parquet("magnet_screening.parquet")
reliable = df[df.kappa_reliable & ~df.k1_outlier.astype(bool)]
hard = reliable[(reliable.kappa_corrected > 1) & (reliable.easy_axis == "001")]
print(len(reliable), "reliable labels;", len(hard), "easy-axis hard compounds")
```

## The error model

The distinguishing feature of this dataset is that its noise floor is measured. A stratified subset of 287 compounds was recomputed at tightened DFT settings (k-spacing 0.16 → 0.10 Å⁻¹, plane-wave cutoff 65 → 80 Ry), and the comparison separates the label error into a bias and a scatter:

- The systematic bias is small and corrected: per-κ-band median corrections of ×1.00 to ×0.96 are applied in the shipped `kappa_corrected` and `K1_corrected_J_per_m3` columns.
- The per-label scatter is the dominant error: in the magnet-relevant bands the interquartile range of the refinement ratio is [0.84, 1.05] (~±16% robust one-sigma), with 48% of labels within ±10% of their refined value.
- In practice, a regression model trained on these labels cannot be validated below a ±15–20% error floor on κ, because the labels themselves move that much under convergence refinement.
- Absolute magnitudes are zero-temperature DFT values, ~1.5–2× room-temperature experiment for hard magnets (the well-documented DFT↔experiment MAE gap).

The calibration pairs ship in `data/calibration.jsonl` as a held-out gold tier for uncertainty-aware training.

## Schema

Key columns of `magnet_screening.parquet` (full dictionary with units in `data/METHODS.md`):

|---|---|---|
| `record_id` | str | stable identifier, `mag-00001` … `mag-03573` |
| `mp_id` | str | Materials Project id of the source structure (1,958 rows; null for off-database variants and ambiguous polymorph pulls) |
| `composition` | str | reduced chemical formula |
| `source` | str | provenance tag: mp_broad / substitution / template / ordered / generated / doping |
| `verdict`, `stopped_at` | str | cascade outcome and the stage that ended it |
| `actual_space_group`, `actual_crystal_system` | str | symmetry of the relaxed cell |

| `K1_J_per_m3`, `kappa`, `easy_axis` | float, float, str | anisotropy label at production settings; easy axis 001 = axis, 100/010 = plane |
| `kappa_corrected`, `K1_corrected_J_per_m3` | float | per-band convergence-corrected labels, recommended for downstream use |
| `easy_axis_confidence` | float | 1 − per-band axis↔plane flip rate |
| `kappa_reliable` | bool | False where the Ms→0 artifact inflates κ |
| `k1_outlier` | bool | extreme-value flag; recompute at refined settings before use |

| `peak_BHmax_kJ_per_m3`, `peak_Br_T`, `robustness_score` | float | microstructure-sweep ceilings (gate-passing rows only) |

## Quality control

- Every record relaxed (Orb-v3) before labeling; unphysical cells (nearest-neighbor < 1.5 Å) rejected
- κ artifacts from near-compensated moments flagged (`kappa_reliable`, 198 labels)
- Extreme single-shot values flagged (`k1_outlier`, 165 labels)
- Ferromagnetic-alignment risk flagged (`fm_assumption_risk`, ~50% of rows, consistent with an oxide-heavy set)
- Rejected candidates retained with valid labels as negative examples (easy-plane, soft, metastable)
- `mp_id` provenance spot-verified against the live Materials Project API (12/12 sampled ids resolve to the same reduced formula)

## Considerations for using the data

**Biases and limitations.**

- Uniaxial crystal systems only (tetragonal, hexagonal, trigonal); no cubic anisotropy data.
- Ferromagnetic alignment is assumed throughout; true ground-state orderings are not resolved, only flagged. Magnetization-derived figures are upper bounds where `fm_assumption_risk` is set.
- Labels are single calculations at screening settings with the quantified per-label uncertainty above; treat this as a screening/ML dataset, not a reference database.
- Curie temperatures and exchange stiffness are method-level estimates and typically run high.
- Rare-earth compounds are absent by construction: the fully-relativistic pseudopotential set behind the anisotropy stage contains no lanthanides. This matches the dataset's purpose (rare-earth-free discovery). Precious-metal compounds are included as high-anisotropy positives.
- Chemistry is Fe/Mn/O-heavy; nickel-rich uniaxial magnets are intrinsically scarce.

**Out-of-scope.** Cubic magnets, rare-earth magnets, 2D materials, noncollinear or temperature-dependent anisotropy, and experimental coercivity (the microstructure sweep is a proxy model).

## Provenance

Screening cascade: Orb-v3 relaxation → symmetry gate → convex-hull stability → Curie temperature and magnetization → TB2J magnetic-interaction extraction over ABACUS DFT (PseudoDojo fully-relativistic norm-conserving pseudopotentials, k-spacing 0.16 Å⁻¹, cutoff 65 Ry; calibration tier at 0.10 Å⁻¹ / 80 Ry) → micromagnetic microstructure sweep (2,000 Latin-hypercube samples per gate-passing compound). Roughly 2,900 anisotropy calculations over an eight-day screening period in June 2026. Property calculations ran as hosted routes on [Ouro](https://ouro.foundation). Full parameters in `data/METHODS.md`.
