deCIFer: Crystal Structure Prediction from Powder Diffraction Data using Autoregressive Language Models

  • 基于自回归语言模型,直接根据粉末衍射数据生成晶体结构
  • 在复杂无机材料上实现94%结构匹配率,指标符合实际应用需求
  • 适合材料发现与实验验证的衔接,尤其适用于缺乏完整结构信息场景

新物质推动能源存储到电子学等领域的进步,而晶体结构表征是材料发现中的关键但具挑战性的步骤。本文提出deCIFer,一种用于粉末X射线衍射(PXRD)条件下的晶体结构预测(PXRD-CSP)的自回归语言模型。不同于传统方法依赖成分或对称性约束,deCIFer显式融合PXRD数据,直接生成广泛使用的晶体学信息文件(CIF)格式的结构。模型在近230万条晶体结构上训练,并通过加入高斯噪声和仪器峰宽化等合成实验误差来增强现实感。在代表挑战性无机材料的多种合成数据集上评估,deCIFer达到94%的结构匹配率。评估采用残差加权谱线(Rwp)和结构匹配率(MR),以契合该问题固有的欠定特性。deCIFer为未来向更复杂实验场景拓展建立了稳健基线,弥合了计算预测与实验结构确定之间的鸿沟。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Novel materials drive advancements in fields ranging from energy storage to electronics, with crystal structure characterization forming a crucial yet challenging step in materials discovery. In this work, we introduce \emph{deCIFer}, an autoregressive language model designed for powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD)-conditioned crystal structure prediction (PXRD-CSP). Unlike traditional CSP methods that rely primarily on composition or symmetry constraints, deCIFer explicitly incorporates PXRD data, directly generating crystal structures in the widely adopted Crystallographic Information File (CIF) format. The model is trained on nearly 2.3 million crystal structures, with PXRD conditioning augmented by basic forms of synthetic experimental artifacts, specifically Gaussian noise and instrumental peak broadening, to reflect fundamental real-world conditions. Validated across diverse synthetic datasets representative of challenging inorganic materials, deCIFer achieves a 94\% structural match rate. The evaluation is based on metrics such as the residual weighted profile ($R_{wp}$) and structural match rate (MR), chosen explicitly for their practical relevance in this inherently underdetermined problem. deCIFer establishes a robust baseline for future expansion toward more complex experimental scenarios, bridging the gap between computational predictions and experimental crystal structure determination.
