Beschreibung: Determining the thermodynamic stability of intermetallic phases in multicomponent alloys from Compound Energy Formalism (CEF), requires the formation enthalpy of up to millions of end-member configurations. Here, a graph neural network (GNN) model, trained from high-throughput DFT calculations, was used to construct such a database of intermetallic σ-phase for 19 metallic elements with a root mean squared error (RMSE) of 10 meV/atom. We show that a good prediction accuracy of GNN, even without prior knowledge of the relaxed structure, can be achieved by focusing on a single phase and using a regression model for structure prediction. The resulting 19 5 formation enthalpy data, corresponding to all end-member configurations up to quinaries, enables the characterization of the stability and chemical trends of σ-phase both at 0 K (configurations on the convex hull) and at high temperature (with disorder using CEF, also up to to quinary systems). We quantified the important role of entropy in stabilizing the σ-phase in multicomponent systems and investigated the relationship between chemical
