摘要:

人工智能生成内容(AIGC)——由AI系统无需人工干预自主生成的内容——已显著提升多个领域的效率。然而,材料科学中的AIGC技术面临双重挑战:既要高效发现超越现有数据库范围的新型材料,又需确保晶体结构的对称性与稳定性。为应对该挑战,我们开发了T2MAT(文本到材料),这是一种端到端智能体,能够通过全面探索化学空间并结合全自动第一性原理验证,将用户输入的文本转化为超越现有数据库范围、具有目标性能的新型材料结构的逆向设计。此外,我们提出CGTNet (晶体图变换器网络),这是一种专门用于捕捉长程相互作用的图神经网络,可显著提高性质预测的准确性和数据效率,从而增强逆向设计的可靠性。通过这些创新,T2MAT降低了对人类专业知识的依赖,加速了高性能功能材料的发现,为真正全自动的材料设计铺平了道路。

Abstract:

Artificial Intelligence-Generated Content (AIGC)—content autonomously produced by AI systems without human intervention—has significantly boosted efficiency across various fields. However, AIGC in material science faces challenges in efficiently discovering novel materials that surpass existing databases, while ensuring the invariance and stability of crystal structures. To address these challenges, we develop T2MAT (text-to-material), an end-to-end agent that transforms user-input text into the inverse design of novel material structures with target properties beyond existing database, enabled by comprehensive exploration of chemical space and fully automated first-principles validation. Furthermore, we propose CGTNet (Crystal Graph Transformer NETwork), a graph neural network specifically designed to capture long-range interactions, which dramatically improves the accuracy and data efficiency of property predictions and thereby strengthens the reliability of inverse design. Through these contributions, T2MAT reduces the reliance on human expertise and accelerates the discovery of high-performance functional materials, paving the way for truly autonomous material design.
