Generative models for stable crystals

A. Moreau, L. Holm and others

Abstract

A diffusion model that proposes crystal structures, and how often they survive the lab.

We trained a generative model on the structures of known inorganic crystals and asked it for new ones.

Most proposals relax into stable structures under simulation, and a growing share survive synthesis.

This paper describes the model, the filters we apply before anything reaches the lab, and where it still fails.
