• Abstract: Generative model for 2D materials has shown significant promise in accelerating the material discovery process. The stability and performance of these materials are strongly influenced by their underlying symmetry. However, existing generative models for 2D materials often neglect symmetry constraints, which limits both the diversity and quality of the generated structures. Here, we introduce a symmetry-constrained diffusion model (SCDM) that integrates space group symmetry into the generative process. By incorporating Wyckoff positions, the model ensures adherence to symmetry principles, leading to the generation of 2,000 candidate structures. DFT calculations were conducted to evaluate the convex hull energies of these structures after structural relaxation. From the generated samples, 843 materials that met the energy stability criteria (Ehull < 0.6 eV/atom) were identified. Among these, six candidates were selected for further stability analysis, including phonon band structure evaluations and electronic properties investigations, all of which exhibited phonon spectrum stability. To benchmark the performance of SCDM, a symmetry-unconstrained diffusion model was also evaluated via crystal structure prediction model. The results highlight that incorporating symmetry constraints enhances the effectiveness of generated 2D materials, making a contribution to the discovery of 2D materials through generative modeling.

  New solid-state materials require rapidly exploring the vast space of crystal structures and locating stable regions. Existing methods struggle to explore large material spaces and generate diverse samples with desired properties and requirements. We propose a novel generative model employing a hierarchical exploration strategy to efficiently exploit the symmetry of the materials space to generate crystal structures given desired properties.

  Recent advances in quantum crystallography have shown that a one-electron reduced density matrix (1-RDM) satisfying N-representability conditions can be reconstructed. An improved model, including symmetry constraints and frozen-core electron contribution, is introduced to better handle the increasing system complexity. The robustness of the model and the strategy are shown to be well-adapted to address the reconstruction problem from actual experimental scattering data.

  Fine-tuning large language models on text-encoded atomistic data is simple to implement yet reliable. We show that our strongest model can generate materials predicted to be metastable at about twice the rate of CDVAE. Because of text prompting's inherent flexibility, our models can simultaneously be used for unconditional generation of stable material.
