Abstract

We discuss how a machine learning approach based on relative entropy optimization can be used as an inverse design strategy to discover isotropic pair interactions that self-assemble single- or multi-component particle systems into Frank-Kasper phases. In doing so, we also gain insights into self-assembly of quasicrystals.
