• Authors: Jakob Ropers, Marco M Mosca, Olga Anosova, Vitaliy Kurlin, Andrew I Cooper
• Abstract summary: Crystal Structure Prediction (CSP) aims to discover solid crystalline materials by optimizing periodic arrangements of atoms, ions or molecules. CSP takes weeks of supercomputer time because of slow energy minimizations for millions of simulated crystals. New area of Periodic Geometry offers much faster isometry invariants that are also continuous under perturbations of atoms.

• Abstract: Crystal Structure Prediction (CSP) aims to discover solid crystalline materials by optimizing periodic arrangements of atoms, ions or molecules. CSP takes weeks of supercomputer time because of slow energy minimizations for millions of simulated crystals. The lattice energy is a key physical property, which determines thermodynamic stability of a crystal but has no simple analytic expression. Past machine learning approaches to predict the lattice energy used slow crystal descriptors depending on manually chosen parameters. The new area of Periodic Geometry offers much faster isometry invariants that are also continuous under perturbations of atoms. Our experiments on simulated crystals confirm that a small distance between the new invariants guarantees a small difference of energies. We compare several kernel methods for invariant-based predictions of energy and achieve the mean absolute error of less than 5kJ/mole or 0.05eV/atom on a dataset of 5679 crystals.

  We propose CrysToGraph ($textbfCrys$tals with $textbfT$ransformers $textbfo$n $textbfGraph$s), a novel transformer-based graph geometric network designed specifically for unconventional crystalline systems. CrysToGraph effectively captures short-range interactions with transformer-based graph convolution blocks as well as long-range interactions with graph-wise transformer blocks. It outperforms most existing methods, achieving new state-of-the-art results on the benchmarks of both unconventional crystals and traditional crystals

  In computational chemistry, crystal structure prediction is an optimization problem. One approach to tackle this problem involves building simulators based on density functional theory (DFT) followed by running search in simulation. We show that our approach, dubbed LCOMs (latent conservative objective models), performs comparably to the best current approaches in terms of success rate of structure prediction.
