  • 分阶段生成晶格与原子位置,支持任意空间或层群对称性约束。
  • 在单层/双层材料生成任务中,性能优于传统体相晶体模型。
  • 专为二维材料设计新表示与评估指标,适合催化、二维超导研究者。

晶体生成模型在加速块体周期材料发现方面进展迅速,但许多材料系统如二维超导体、薄膜半导体和催化表面属于双周期(即在一个晶格方向上非周期),其对称性由层群决定。现有模型未考虑层群影响。本文提出SLayerGen,一种能生成对任意空间或层群保持不变的晶体的生成模型。该模型包含:从粗到细的离散自回归晶格生成;基于Transformer的自回归采样晶格点位、元素及对称不等价原子数;以及原子坐标的空间/层群等变扩散过程。针对先前工作中因六方群在分数坐标下非正交导致的损失不一致问题,本研究进行了修正。为推动双周期材料生成建模发展,我们构建并筛选了单层与双层材料数据集,提出了相关评估指标,并开发了新的层群对称性表示方法。在从头生成双周期材料任务中,SLayerGen表现优于传统体相晶体生成模型,在联合训练体相与双周期材料时也具备竞争力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Crystal generative models have shown rapid progress for accelerating the discovery of bulk, periodic materials. However, many material systems such as 2D superconductors, thin film semiconductors, and catalytic surfaces are diperiodic, i.e., aperiodic along one of the lattice directions. These systems are invariant under the layer groups, which are known to influence materials properties yet not considered by existing models. In this paper, we propose SLayerGen, a generative model that produces crystals constrained to be invariant to any space or layer group. SLayerGen consists of coarse-to-fine discrete autoregressive lattice generation; transformer-based autoregressive sampling of Wyckoff positions, elements, and numbers of symmetrically unique atoms; and space or layer group equivariant diffusion of atomic coordinates. For the diffusion component, we corrected an inconsistency in the loss from prior work arising from hexagonal groups being non-orthogonal in fractional coordinates. To facilitate progress in generative modeling of diperiodic materials, we assembled and filtered datasets of monolayers and bilayers, propose relevant evaluation metrics, and developed novel representations for layer group symmetries. For de novo generation of diperiodic materials, SLayerGen achieves consistent performance gains over bulk crystal generative models and is competitive when training jointly on bulk and diperiodic materials.
