- 构建智能代理闭环验证,动态搜索并修正原子结构假设。

- 适合材料科学中从显微图像到原子模型的自动化研究者使用。
从单张噪声严重的透射电镜(STEM)投影图重建原子级晶体结构是一个病态逆问题:多个晶格可能产生相似的对比度,而纯前馈模型无法验证物理合理性。我们提出AutoMat,一种具备故障感知能力的智能体控制器,通过推理时的假设搜索与闭环验证,将扫描透射电镜(STEM)图像转化为可模拟的晶体结构及下游属性。AutoMat整合感知与物理模块——自适应去噪、基于物理的模板检索(作为状态相关辅助分支)、对称性约束的原子重构,以及基于机器学习势的弛豫/验证,并在验证失败时触发回滚重试。为系统评估,我们构建了STEM2Mat-Bench基准数据集,包含450+标注样本。性能以晶格均方根偏差(RMSD)、形成能平均绝对误差(MAE)和结构匹配准确率衡量。结果表明,AutoMat优于现有方法,包括最先进模型、专用领域工具和闭源多模态大模型。该工作建立了从微观表征到原子尺度建模的直接路径,解决了材料科学中的一个根本挑战。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Reconstructing atomistic crystal structures from a single noisy STEM projection is an ill-posed inverse problem: multiple lattices can explain similar contrast, and purely feed-forward models cannot verify physical validity. We present AutoMat, a failure-aware agentic controller that performs inference-time hypothesis search with closed-loop verification to convert Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (STEM) images into simulation-ready crystal structures and downstream properties. AutoMat composes perception and physics modules---pattern-adaptive denoising, physics-guided template retrieval as a state-dependent auxiliary branch, symmetry-constrained atomic reconstruction, and MLIP-based relaxation/validation---and triggers rollback-and-retry when verification fails. For systematic evaluation, we introduce STEM2Mat-Bench, a benchmark dataset containing 450+ annotated samples. Performance is assessed using lattice root-mean-square deviation (RMSD), formation energy mean absolute error (MAE), and structure matching accuracy. Results demonstrate that AutoMat outperforms existing approaches including SOTA models, specialized domain tools, and closed-source multimodal large models. This work establishes a direct pathway from microscopic characterization to atomic-scale modeling, addressing a fundamental challenge in materials science.
