OCELOT: An infrastructure for data-driven research to discover and design crystalline organic semiconductors.

Author
Abstract
:

Materials design and discovery are often hampered by the slow pace and materials and human costs associated with Edisonian trial-and-error screening approaches. Recent advances in computational power, theoretical methods, and data science techniques, however, are being manifest in a convergence of these tools to enable in silico materials discovery. Here, we present the development and deployment of computational materials data and data analytic approaches for crystalline organic semiconductors. The OCELOT (Organic Crystals in Electronic and Light-Oriented Technologies) infrastructure, consisting of a Python-based OCELOT application programming interface and OCELOT database, is designed to enable rapid materials exploration. The database contains a descriptor-based schema for high-throughput calculations that have been implemented on more than 56 000 experimental crystal structures derived from 47 000 distinct molecular structures. OCELOT is open-access and accessible via a web-user interface at https://oscar.as.uky.edu.
