- 将空间群对称性和威克夫位置融入扩散模型生成过程
- 生成2000个候选结构,其中843个满足能量稳定性标准
- 适合材料基因组、生成式设计方向的研究者参考
生成式模型在加速二维材料发现方面展现出巨大潜力。材料的稳定性和性能强烈依赖于其内在对称性。然而,现有二维材料生成模型常忽略对称性约束,限制了生成结构的多样性和质量。本文提出一种对称性约束扩散模型(SCDM),将空间群对称性与威克夫位置纳入生成过程,确保结构符合对称原理。该模型生成2000个候选结构,经结构弛豫后进行第一性原理计算,评估其凸包能量。其中843个材料满足能量稳定性标准(Ehull < 0.6 eV/atom)。进一步筛选出6个候选材料,通过声子谱分析和电子性质研究,均表现出声子谱稳定性。为验证效果,还对比了无对称性约束的扩散模型。结果表明,引入对称性约束显著提升了生成材料的有效性,为基于生成模型发现二维材料提供了新路径。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Generative model for 2D materials has shown significant promise in accelerating the material discovery process. The stability and performance of these materials are strongly influenced by their underlying symmetry. However, existing generative models for 2D materials often neglect symmetry constraints, which limits both the diversity and quality of the generated structures. Here, we introduce a symmetry-constrained diffusion model (SCDM) that integrates space group symmetry into the generative process. By incorporating Wyckoff positions, the model ensures adherence to symmetry principles, leading to the generation of 2,000 candidate structures. DFT calculations were conducted to evaluate the convex hull energies of these structures after structural relaxation. From the generated samples, 843 materials that met the energy stability criteria (Ehull < 0.6 eV/atom) were identified. Among these, six candidates were selected for further stability analysis, including phonon band structure evaluations and electronic properties investigations, all of which exhibited phonon spectrum stability. To benchmark the performance of SCDM, a symmetry-unconstrained diffusion model was also evaluated via crystal structure prediction model. The results highlight that incorporating symmetry constraints enhances the effectiveness of generated 2D materials, making a contribution to the discovery of 2D materials through generative modeling.
