  • 三层次对齐:输入去噪、表示对比学习、形态正则化。
  • 熔点附近零误检,空位与自间隙原子定位精确,无标签训练。
  • 适合大规模分子动力学仿真中高温结构分析,尤其金属材料。

在高温下识别原子缺陷极具挑战,因热涨落会模糊几何对称性,而监督模型依赖的可靠标签仅存在于低温参考构型中。本文将此问题视为跨温域域偏移问题,通过三个层级的对齐策略:输入层的等变去噪器、表示层的跨温对比学习,以及引导预测趋向物理缺陷紧凑几何结构的形态感知正则化。由于高温下无原子级真值,我们提出一种无标签评估体系,从五个空间与物理维度评分预测结果,实现无需高温标签的模型评估与选择。在接近熔点时,该框架在面心立方、体心立方和密排六方铁系统中准确识别空位与自间隙原子,所有间隙原子均被精确定位,空位系统无误检,基准为Wigner-Seitz真值;训练未使用任何高温标签。在百万原子、2.5纳秒轨迹上保持高保真度,可解析单空位跳跃与弗伦克尔对重组,并捕捉铝双晶界相变过程,区分两种形核模式。多层级域对齐为大规模分子动力学中的温度鲁棒结构分析提供了一条实用且标签高效的新路径。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Identifying atomic defects at elevated temperature is difficult because thermal fluctuations blur the local symmetry that both geometric heuristics and supervised classifiers rely on: trustworthy labels exist in low-temperature reference configurations, while the high-temperature regime where robust analysis matters most is effectively unlabeled. We cast this as a cross-temperature domain-shift problem and align the two domains at three levels: an equivariant denoiser at the input level, cross-temperature contrastive learning at the representation level, and a morphology-aware regularizer that steers predictions toward the compact geometry of physical defect structures. Because no atom-wise truth exists at temperature, we further introduce a label-free evaluation suite that scores predicted defect structures along five spatial and physics-based axes, enabling model assessment and selection without high-temperature labels. Near the melting point, the framework identifies vacancies and self-interstitial atoms across face-centered-cubic, body-centered-cubic, and hexagonal-close-packed iron systems with every interstitial localized and zero false detections in every vacancy system against Wigner-Seitz ground truth, with no high-temperature labels used in training. It sustains this fidelity on a million-atom, 2.5 ns trajectory, resolving single vacancy hops and complete Frenkel-pair recombination, and captures grain-boundary phase transformations in aluminum bicrystals, distinguishing two nucleation modes. Multi-level domain alignment thus offers a practical, label-efficient route to temperature-robust structural analysis of large-scale molecular dynamics.
