The paper presents a cross‑modal learning framework that predicts three‑dimensional dislocation density fields directly from X‑ray diffraction data. By pairing simulated dislocation density fields with virtual diffraction patterns and embedding them into a shared 2‑D latent space via contrastive learning, the authors achieve strong alignment between structural and diffraction representations. Experiments show that model performance improves rapidly with dataset size, reaching near‑saturation with about 500 representative observations out of 10,000, and the predicted structures capture the dominant spatial features of the underlying microstructures.

The thesis presents AI frameworks that accelerate crystalline materials discovery by tackling both crystal property prediction and crystal structure generation. It introduces CrysXPP, CrysGNN, and CrysMMNet for efficient, data‑sparse property prediction using graph autoencoding, self‑supervised pretraining, and multimodal learning. For generation, TGDMat is a text‑guided diffusion model that jointly learns lattice parameters, atomic types, and coordinates, enabling valid, stable, and conditionally generated periodic materials.

4DMulti is a physics‑guided learning framework that automates multicomponent identification from large‑scale four‑dimensional scanning transmission electron microscopy data. It leverages a 6‑million‑pattern diffraction database, a retrieval‑conditioned latent diffusion transformer (Sim2real) for realistic pattern generation, and a rotation‑invariant convolutional network for phase classification, achieving 98.82% accuracy on a five‑phase benchmark. The method introduces a diffraction‑inferred structural complexity metric and produces single‑nanometer‑resolution structural maps of complex material interfaces such as superconducting heterostructures, corroded alloys, and degraded solid‑state battery interfaces.
