Frontispiece: Discovering Intermetallics Through Synthesis, Computation, and Data‐Driven Analysis

Abstract

New approaches that build on the traditional methods for materials synthesis and characterization are discussed with a specific focus on realizing novel intermetallics. Indeed, advances in the computational modeling of solids using density functional theory in combination with structure prediction algorithms have led to new high-pressure phases, functional intermetallics, and aided experimental efforts. Furthermore, the advent of data-centered methodologies has provided new opportunities to rapidly predict crystal structures, physical properties, and the existence of unknown compounds.
