提出NextHAM模型,提升材料哈密顿量预测的通用性与效率

Advancing Universal Deep Learning for Electronic-Structure Hamiltonian Prediction of Materials

  • 用DFT初始电荷密度构建零阶哈密顿量,作为输入和输出的初始估计
  • 设计满足E(3)对称性的神经Transformer,可准确预测实空间与倒空间哈密顿量
  • 在1.7万种材料上验证,支持68种元素并包含自旋-轨道耦合效应

基于深度学习的电子结构哈密顿量预测方法在计算效率上显著优于传统DFT,但原子种类多样性、结构模式复杂性以及哈密顿量的高维特性仍制约其泛化能力。本文从方法与数据两方面推进通用深度学习范式:提出NextHAM,一种兼具E(3)对称性与强非线性表达能力的神经校正方法。首先引入零阶哈密顿量,利用DFT初始电荷密度高效构造,作为神经回归模型的输入描述符及目标哈密顿量的初始估计,使模型直接学习校正项,大幅简化输入输出映射。其次,设计具备严格E(3)对称性的神经Transformer架构,增强表达力。第三,提出新训练目标,确保实空间与倒空间哈密顿量精度,避免因重叠矩阵条件数过大导致的误差放大与“虚态”问题。同时构建高质量大规模基准数据集Materials-HAM-SOC,包含17,000种材料结构,覆盖周期表前六行68种元素,并显式包含自旋-轨道耦合(SOC)效应。在该数据集上的实验表明,NextHAM在哈密顿量与能带结构预测中均实现优异精度与效率。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Deep learning methods for electronic-structure Hamiltonian prediction has offered significant computational efficiency advantages over traditional DFT methods, yet the diversity of atomic types, structural patterns, and the high-dimensional complexity of Hamiltonians pose substantial challenges to the generalization performance. In this work, we contribute on both the methodology and dataset sides to advance universal deep learning paradigm for Hamiltonian prediction. On the method side, we propose NextHAM, a neural E(3)-symmetry and expressive correction method for efficient and generalizable materials electronic-structure Hamiltonian prediction. First, we introduce the zeroth-step Hamiltonians, which can be efficiently constructed by the initial charge density of DFT, as informative descriptors of neural regression model in the input level and initial estimates of the target Hamiltonian in the output level, so that the regression model directly predicts the correction terms to the target ground truths, thereby significantly simplifying the input-output mapping for learning. Second, we present a neural Transformer architecture with strict E(3)-Symmetry and high non-linear expressiveness for Hamiltonian prediction. Third, we propose a novel training objective to ensure the accuracy performance of Hamiltonians in both real space and reciprocal space, preventing error amplification and the occurrence of "ghost states" caused by the large condition number of the overlap matrix. On the dataset side, we curate a high-quality broad-coverage large benchmark, namely Materials-HAM-SOC, comprising 17,000 material structures spanning 68 elements from six rows of the periodic table and explicitly incorporating SOC effects. Experimental results on Materials-HAM-SOC demonstrate that NextHAM achieves excellent accuracy and efficiency in predicting Hamiltonians and band structures.
