OxiGen: Oxidation-State-Aware Crystal Generation

To address this limitation, we propose OxiGen, an oxidation-state-aware crystal diffusion model that explicitly represents oxidation states during generation.

Key points

  • Generative models have the potential to accelerate inorganic materials discovery by enabling inverse design, but generating experimentally realisable crystals remains challenging.
  • Oxidation states are widely used to assess the compositional validity of crystals and guide inorganic materials discovery.
  • While existing generative models for crystals can generate materials with charge-neutral oxidation-state assignments, they poorly reproduce the distributions of oxidation states observed in synthesised materials.
  • OxiGen enforces global charge neutrality by construction using a structured output layer with exact inference over a finite-state automaton.
