The article reviews strategies for modeling chemical disorder in materials, addressing the gap between experimental descriptions of disorder and the detailed configurations required for atomistic simulations and AI workflows. It evaluates traditional approaches such as mean-field theories, cluster expansion, and Monte Carlo, alongside emerging AI-powered methods like universal interatomic potentials and generative models. The review also discusses how AI can accelerate computational schemes and enable disorder-native capabilities, providing a roadmap for integrating disorder into realistic AI-accelerated materials discovery.
arXiv:2508. 05762v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Universal machine learning force fields (UMLFFs) promise to revolutionize materials science by enabling rapid atomistic simulations across the periodic table.
The paper introduces a method to construct phase‑field models directly from ab initio data by projecting molecular dynamics onto species‑density fields using the Mori‑Zwanzig formalism. Neural networks parameterize the resulting non‑local free energy and mobility, trained on short MD trajectories generated with machine‑learning interatomic potentials. Demonstrations on an iron‑boron melt and hydrogen‑helium mixtures show the approach can predict pressure‑dependent stability, immiscibility boundaries, and large‑scale droplet dynamics beyond conventional atomistic simulations.
The paper introduces CrystAF, an all‑atom crystal flow‑map generation model, and evaluates where physics should be incorporated into generative crystal structure models. By applying physics‑informed post‑training, the authors improve molecular validity and crystal packing without altering sampling speed, while inference‑time corrections further refine the structures. The study demonstrates that post‑training and inference‑time physics are complementary, and that the post‑training approach transfers to other generators such as Clari‑M and MolCrystalFlow.

SoLiD26 is a curated dataset of 15.4 million first‑principles atomic structures for solid‑liquid interfaces, comprising up to 576 atoms and 15 chemical elements. The data were generated from density functional theory calculations, mainly ab initio molecular dynamics, and include aqueous coinage metal interfaces, electrode‑electrolyte systems, and bulk references. Each record contains atomic species, positions, cell parameters, periodic boundary conditions, potential energy, and atomic forces, all computed with VASP using the PBE functional and D3 dispersion corrections.
