We present here a Neural Network potential able to predict structures of pure and mixed nanoparticles with an error in energy and forces of the order of chemical accuracy as compared with the values provided by the theoretical method used in the training process, in our case the density functional theory. The neural network is integrated into a basin-hopping algorithm which dynamically feeds the training process. The main ingredients of the neural network algorithm as well as the protocol used for its implementation and training are detailed, with particular emphasis on those aspects that make it so efficient and transferable. As a first test, we have applied it to the determination of the global minimum structures of ZnMg nanoalloys with up to 52 atoms and stoichiometries corresponding to MgZn and MgZn, of special interest in the context of anticorrosive coatings. We present and discuss the structural properties, chemical order, stability and pertinent electronic indicators, and we extract some conclusions on fundamental aspects that may be at the roots of the good performance of ZnMg nanoalloys as protective coatings. Finally, we comment on the step forward that the presented machine learning approach constitutes, both in the fact that it allows to accurately explore the potential energy surface of systems that other methodologies can not, and that it opens new prospects for a variety of problems in Materials Science.Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad (project PGC2018-093745-B-I00)Elsevier2021info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.actamat.2021.117341https://uvadoc.uva.es/handle/10324/49024reponame:UVaDOC.
