  • 基于扩散模型学习衍射图谱到晶体结构的映射关系。
  • 在模拟数据上实现高精度多晶型区分,准确率显著优于基线方法。
  • 采用峰特征编码更适配真实实验数据,可零样本直接应用。

从粉末X射线衍射(PXRD)图谱确定材料晶体结构是材料科学的核心挑战。尽管PXRD是一种易获取且广泛应用的表征技术,但由于相位信息丢失,从衍射数据恢复原子结构属于欠定逆问题。生成建模可通过原子结构先验,并利用模拟的结构-谱图对学习从PXRD到晶体结构的映射。本文提出XRDiff,一种扩散模型,可在已知化学计量比或仅知元素组成与晶胞原子总数的情况下,从PXRD重建晶体结构。我们在多个包含多种多晶型的测试集上评估,所有同成分多晶型均被整体保留,以确保性能反映对衍射信号的真实利用。XRDiff在模拟基准上表现优异,表明其学习到的谱图-结构映射足以精确区分多晶型。为提升对实验数据的泛化能力,我们比较了全谱编码与基于峰特征的编码方式,发现峰特征编码泛化性能显著更好,甚至优于在加噪模拟数据上训练并适配实验噪声分布的模型。结果表明,对真实衍射噪声和伪影具有鲁棒性的表示,为缩小仿真到实验的差距提供了可行且可扩展的路径,使在完全或部分化学组成输入下实现零样本实验PXRD晶体结构解析成为可能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Determining the crystal structure of a material from its powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) pattern is a central challenge in materials science. PXRD is an accessible and widely used characterization technique, yet recovering the atomic structure from diffraction data requires solving an underdetermined inverse problem due to the loss of phase information. Generative modeling can provide a prior over atomic structure and learn the mapping from PXRD patterns to crystal structures via simulated structure-spectrum pairs. We present XRDiff, a diffusion model that recovers crystal structures from PXRD given either the stoichiometry or, in a more challenging setting, the elemental constituents and total number of atoms in the unit cell. We evaluate on datasets where each stoichiometry has multiple polymorphs and all polymorphs of a given composition are held out together, ensuring that high performance reflects genuine use of the diffraction signal. XRDiff achieves strong structure recovery rates on simulated benchmarks, indicating that the model learns a spectrum-to-structure mapping precise enough to differentiate between polymorphs. To address generalization to experimental data, we compare a full-spectrum encoding against an encoding based on peak descriptors. The peak-based encoding generalizes substantially better, outperforming even a model trained on full spectra with augmentations fitted to the experimental noise distribution. These results demonstrate that representations robust to the noise and artifacts present in real-world PXRD offer a practical and scalable path toward closing the simulation-to-experiment gap, enabling zero-shot crystal structure solution from experimental PXRD with full or partial chemical composition input.
