HfO2 is an unusual material in which ferroelectricity is stabilized upon thin-film formation, and its emergence involves multiple atomic-displacement modes. To describe this behavior within a phase-field method, a multivariable Landau energy functional is required; however, constructing such a functional entails a prohibitively large computational cost. In this study, we employed machine learning to substantially reduce the computational cost while constructing a highly accurate Landau energy functional. Furthermore, using phase-field simulations based on the constructed functional, we verified the emergence of polarization in both bulk and thin-film HfO2.
