To establish a structure-property relationship, not only the crystallographic symmetry but also quantitative knowledge about defects are required. Here we present a hybrid Machine Learning framework that integrates a physically-constrained variational-autoencoder (pcVAE) with different Bayesian Optimization (BO) methods to systematically accelerate and improve crystal structure refinement with resolution of defects. We chose the pyrochlore structured Ho2Ti2O7 as a model system and employed the GSAS2 package for benchmarking crystallographic parameters from Rietveld refinement. However, the function space of these material systems is highly nonlinear, which limits optimizers like traditional Rietveld refinement, into trapping at local minima. Also, these naive methods don't provide an extensive learning about the overall function space, which is essential for large space, large time consuming explorations to identify various potential regions of interest. Thus, we present the approach of exploring the high Dimensional structure parameters of defect sensitive systems via pretrained pcVAE assisted BO and Sparse Axis Aligned BO. The pcVAE projects high-Dimensional diffraction data consisting of thousands of independently measured diffraction orders into a lowD latent space while enforcing scaling invariance and physical relevance. Then via BO methods, we aim to minimize the L2 norm based chisq errors in the real and latent spaces separately between experimental and simulated diffraction patterns, thereby steering the refinement towards potential optimum crystal structure parameters. We investigated and compared the results among different pcVAE assisted BO, non pcVAE assisted BO, and Rietveld refinement.cond-mat updates on arXiv.orgTue, 06 Jan 2026 05:00:00 GMToai:arXiv.org:2601.00855v1[cond-mat updates on arXiv.org] A Chemically Grounded Evaluation Framework for Generative Models in Materials Discoveryhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2601.00886arXiv:2601.00886v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Generative models hold great promise for accelerating materials discovery, but their evaluation often overlooks the chemical validity and stability requirements crucial to real-world applications. Density Functional Theory (DFT) simulations are the gold standard for evaluating such properties but are computationally intensive and inaccessible to non-experts. We propose a chemically grounded, user-friendly evaluation framework that integrates DFT-based stability analysis with commonly used machine learning (ML) metrics. Through systematic experiments using both perturbative and generative methods, we demonstrate that conventional ML metrics can misrepresent chemical feasibility. To address this, we propose new insights on robust metrics and highlight the importance of simulation-informed evaluation for developing reliable generative models in materials science.cond-mat updates on arXiv.orgTue, 06 Jan 2026 05:00:00 GMToai:arXiv.org:2601.00886v1[cond-mat updates on arXiv.org] Disordered Dynamics in High Dimensions: Connections to Random Matrices and Machine Learninghttps://arxiv.org/abs/2601.01010arXiv:2601.01010v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We provide an overview of high dimensional dynamical systems driven by random matrices, focusing on applications to simple models of learning and generalization in machine learning theory. Using both cavity method arguments and path integrals, we review how the behavior of a coupled infinite dimensional system can be characterized as a stochastic process for each single site of the system. We provide a pedagogical treatment of dynamical mean field theory (DMFT), a framework that can be flexibly applied to these settings. The DMFT single site stochastic process is fully characterized by a set of (two-time) correlation and response functions. For linear time-invariant systems, we illustrate connections between random matrix resolvents and the DMFT response. We demonstrate applications of these ideas to machine learning models such as gradient flow, stochastic gradient descent on random feature models and deep linear networks in the feature learning regime trained on random data. We demonstrate how bias and variance decompositions (analysis of ensembling/bagging etc) can be computed by averaging over subsets of the DMFT noise variables. From our formalism we also investigate how linear systems driven with random non-Hermitian matrices (such as random feature models) can exhibit non-monotonic loss curves with training time, while Hermitian matrices with the matching spectra do not, highlighting a different mechanism for non-monotonicity than small eigenvalues causing instability to label noise. Lastly, we provide asymptotic descriptions of the training and test loss dynamics for randomly initialized deep linear neural networks trained in the feature learning regime with high-dimensional random data. In this case, the time translation invariance structure is lost and the hidden layer weights are characterized as spiked random matrices.cond-mat updates on arXiv.orgTue, 06 Jan 2026 05:00:00 GMToai:arXiv.org:2601.01010v1[cond-mat updates on arXiv.org] Predicting Coherent B2 Stability in Ru-Containing Refractory Alloys Through Thermodynamic Elastic Design Mapshttps://arxiv.org/abs/2601.01326arXiv:2601.01326v1 Announce Type: new @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ Abstract: Accurate prediction of radiation damage in YBa$_2$Cu$3$O${7-\delta}$ ( Abstract: We present quantum heat machines using a diatomic molecule modelled by a $q$-deformed potential as a working medium. We analyze the effect of the deformation parameter and other potential parameters on the work output and efficiency of the quantum Otto and quantum Carnot heat cycles. Furthermore, we derive the analytical expressions of work and efficiency as a function of these parameters. Interestingly, our system operates as a quantum heat engine across the range of parameters considered. In addition, the efficiency of the quantum Otto heat engine is seen to be tunable by the deformation parameter. Our findings provide useful insight for understanding the impact of anharmonicity on the design of quantum thermal machines.cond-mat updates on arXiv.orgTue, 06 Jan 2026 05:00:00 GMToai:arXiv.org:2504.03131v2[ChemRxiv] A Systematic Review of Prompt Engineering Paradigms in Organic Chemistry: Mining, Prediction, and Model Architectureshttps://dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2026-625v3?rft_dat=source%3DdrssLarge language models (LLMs) have emerged as transformative tools in scientific research, offering a powerful alternative to traditional, resource-intensive machine learning methods. By leveraging the vast knowledge encoded during pre-training, prompt engineering—the systematic design and optimization of input instructions—enables researchers to guide LLMs toward accurate and domain-specific outputs without updating model parameters. This review presents the first systematic examination of prompt engineering techniques within organic chemistry, focusing on two critical application areas: text mining and predictive tasks. We analyze the core paradigms of prompt engineering, including prompt design, prompt learning, and prompt tuning, and clarify terminological inconsistencies in the literature. The discussion is contextualized within the three principal LLM architectures (encoder-only, decoder-only, and encoder-decoder), with an evaluation of their respective performances on chemistry-related tasks. Furthermore, we explore practical workflows for extracting structured chemical data from texts and knowledge graphs, as well as advanced prompt strategies for reaction condition prediction, reaction optimization, and catalytic performance prediction. This review highlights the significant potential of LLM-driven prompt engineering to accelerate discovery in organic chemistry, from synthetic pathway optimization to automated literature analysis, while also addressing persistent challenges such as the limitations associated with various prompt engineering techniques and the constraints related to each related sub-task. We conclude by outlining future research directions aimed at deepening the integration of chemical knowledge with evolving AI methodologies.ChemRxivTue, 06 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2026-625v3?rft_dat=source%3Ddrss[ChemRxiv] Ensemble Analyzer: An Open-Source Python Framework for Automated Conformer Ensemble Refinementhttps://dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2026-kq1wk?rft_dat=source%3DdrssAccurate prediction of molecular properties often requires considering the full conformational ensemble rather than a single optimized structure. While modern sampling tools have revolutionized conformational sampling by enabling the rapid generation of ensembles, the subsequent refinement at higher levels of theory remains computationally demanding and technically complex. Existing workflows typically rely on ad hoc scripts and manual intervention, limiting reproducibility and accessibility. Here, we present Ensemble Analyzer (EnAn), an open-source Python framework designed to automate the refinement and analysis of conformational ensembles. Built on the Atomic Simulation Environment (ASE), EnAn integrates seamlessly with widely known quantum chemistry engines such as ORCA and Gaussian, providing a modular and extensible architecture that streamlines the entire pipeline. EnAn also supports automated generation and comparison of electronic and vibronic spectra, enabling rapid visualization and interpretation. By minimizing manual data handling and standardizing workflows, EnAn effectively manages reproducible exploration of complex conformational spaces.ChemRxivTue, 06 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2026-kq1wk?rft_dat=source%3Ddrss[ChemRxiv] Electrostatic Patterning Controls Mineral Nucleation Inside Ferritinhttps://dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2026-8bq1h?rft_dat=source%3DdrssFerritin protein nanocages store iron across nearly all living organisms. In mammals, two subtypes of ferritin exist: heavy (H) chain and light (L) chain. They have very similar 3D structures, but each performs a slightly different role in iron mineral formation. How sequence differences between the two subtypes affect mineral formation within the nanocages is still unclear. Single-particle reconstruction of cryo-TEM images was used to build models of unmineralized and partially mineralized human L-chain and H-chain ferritin, which showed that subtle differences in protein structure led to changes in the location of mineral formation within ferritin. Explicit-solvent atomistic molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were used to explore how sequence-dependent electrostatics modulate ion transport, cluster formation, and mineral nucleation within the confined environment of human L- and H-chain apoferritin nanocages. Employing NaCl as a computational probe, we show that the internal charge distribution governs ion selectivity and nucleation pathways. Analysis of liquid and solid ionic clusters, combined with Markov State Models (MSMs), reveals that mineralization proceeds through a two-step mechanism involving dense liquid-like precursors that crystallize homogeneously within the cavity. These findings provide molecular insight into how ferritin sequence variability tunes confinement-driven nucleation and suggest general principles for designing biomimetic nanoreactors.ChemRxivTue, 06 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2026-8bq1h?rft_dat=source%3Ddrss[ChemRxiv] Machine Learning Prediction of Henry Coefficients of Polar and Nonpolar Gases in Covalent Organic Frameworks: Effects of Interlayer Shifts and Functionalizationhttps://dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2026-ps69l?rft_dat=source%3DdrssCovalent organic frameworks (COFs) are promising materials for gas separation and carbon capture. Computational techniques based on Monte Carlo simulation can be used to predict the gas adsorption properties of COFs with high accuracy, however they are too inefficient to be deployed in a high-throughput manner for screening large COF databases. In this paper, we systematically train and evaluate a range of machine learning models for predicting the Henry coefficients for CO2 and CH4 gas adsorption in COF materials. To account for COF structural variability, we train our models on datasets that include both chemically functionalized frameworks and interlayer displaced stacking configurations. By comparing predictive performance across descriptor–model architecture combinations, we demonstrate how different models capture the key physical factors governing gas adsorption, including electrostatics, local atomic environments, and van der Waals interactions. Our results therefore provide a framework for building machine learning models for scalable, high-throughput screening of COF materials with targeted gas adsorption properties.ChemRxivTue, 06 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2026-ps69l?rft_dat=source%3Ddrss[ChemRxiv] Bridging the Gap: Aqueous Phase Organic Synthesis as a Foundation for Advanced Chemical and Biological Discoveryhttps://dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2026-0hw4d?rft_dat=source%3DdrssFor over a century, synthetic chemistry demanded the rigorous exclusion of water, relying on toxic, volatile organic solvents. This paradigm, while successful, is environmentally and economically costly. This review advocates for a fundamental shift: adopting water not just as a green solvent, but as a transformative medium that reshapes our understanding of reactivity and bridges chemistry with biology. Aqueous phase organic synthesis (APOS) has evolved from accidental observations to a deliberate discipline. Water’s unique properties—its high polarity, hydrogen-bonding capacity, and the hydrophobic effect—make it an active participant. This effect drives reactant aggregation and stabilizes transition states, leading to dramatic rate enhancements in pericyclic and condensation reactions. A broad range of reactions thrive in water, including classical carbon–carbon bond-forming reactions like the aldol and Diels–Alder, and modern cross-couplings (e.g., Suzuki–Miyaura) enabled by water-tolerant catalysts. Multicomponent and click chemistries are particularly powerful. Challenges like poor solubility are addressed with micellar catalysis, water-soluble ligands, and precise control of the reaction microenvironment. Beyond sustainability, APOS drives discovery, often yielding improved selectivities, new pathways, and streamlined syntheses of complex targets like pharmaceuticals. Its greatest promise lies in interfacing with biology. Bioorthogonal reactions, such as azide–alkyne cycloadditions, enable labeling and imaging in living organisms. Aqueous compatibility is essential for in situ therapeutic strategies, chemical biology, and advanced bioconjugation techniques for modifying biomolecules. The future converges with emerging technologies: machine learning to navigate complex aqueous systems, flow chemistry for scalability, and the integration of enzymatic with synthetic catalysis. This points toward a unified chemical-biological engineering paradigm. In conclusion, APOS is a mature, versatile field. It is a cornerstone of green chemistry and a critical bridge to biology, accelerating progress in medicine and materials science. Embracing water is both an environmental imperative and a strategic pathway to the next generation of scientific discovery. Introduction: The Solvent Problem in Organic Synthesis -For generations, organic synthesis has been defined by precise control over molecular structure carried out in rigorously dried environments. Since the emergence of modern organic chemistry in the nineteenth century, water – the very medium that sustains life – has been regarded as an obstacle to chemical transformation. This long-standing assumption has shaped laboratory routines, industrial manufacturing, and chemical education, reinforcing the idea that successful synthesis depends on strict exclusion of moisture. This introduction revisits that historical mindset, evaluates its environmental and economic consequences, and presents the case for a fundamental transition toward aqueous phase organic synthesis (APOS) as a more suitable platform for future chemical and biological innovation.ChemRxivTue, 06 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2026-0hw4d?rft_dat=source%3Ddrss[RSC - Chem.

Since the emergence of modern organic chemistry in the nineteenth century, water – the very medium that sustains life – has been regarded as an obstacle to chemical transformation. This long-standing assumption has shaped laboratory routines, industrial manufacturing, and chemical education, reinforcing the idea that successful synthesis depends on strict exclusion of moisture. This introduction revisits that historical mindset, evaluates its environmental and economic consequences, and presents the case for a fundamental transition toward aqueous phase organic synthesis (APOS) as a more suitable platform for future chemical and biological innovation.ChemRxivTue, 06 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMThttps://dx.doi.org/10.26434/chemrxiv-2026-0hw4d?rft_dat=source%3Ddrss[RSC - Chem.

The orientation and spacing of transition lines in a charge stability diagram (CSD) contain a fingerprint of a QD device's capacitive environment, making these measurements useful tools for device characterization. However, manually interpreting these features is time-consuming, error-prone, and impractical at scale. Here, we present an automated protocol for extracting underlying capacitive properties from CSDs. Our method integrates machine learning, image processing, and object detection to identify and track charge transitions across large datasets without manual labeling. We demonstrate this method using experimentally measured data from a strained-germanium single-quantum-well (planar) and a strained-germanium double-quantum-well (bilayer) QD device. Unlike for planar QD devices, CSDs in bilayer germanium heterostructure exhibit a larger set of transitions, including interlayer tunneling and distinct loading lines for the vertically stacked QDs, making them a powerful testbed for automation methods. By analyzing the properties of many CSDs, we can statistically estimate physically relevant quantities, like relative lever arms and capacitive couplings. Thus, our protocol enables rapid extraction of useful, nontrivial information about QD devices.cond-mat updates on arXiv.orgMon, 05 Jan 2026 05:00:00 GMToai:arXiv.org:2601.00067v1[cond-mat updates on arXiv.org] Atomic-Scale Mechanisms of Li-Ion Transport Mediated by Li10GeP2S12 in Composite Solid Polyethylene Oxide Electrolyteshttps://arxiv.org/abs/2601.00112arXiv:2601.00112v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Polymer electrolytes incorporating Li$_{10}$GeP$_{2}$S$_{12}$ (LGPS) nanoparticles show promise for solid-state lithium batteries owing to their enhanced ionic conductivity, though the governing mechanisms remain unclear. We combine molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, experimental ionic conductivity measurements, and density functional theory (DFT) calculations to elucidate the effect of LGPS loading on polyethylene oxide (PEO) structure and Li-ion transport. MD and experimental results agree up to 10\% LGPS, showing a volcano-shaped conductivity trend driven by polymer segmental dynamics and interfacial effects. Beyond 10\%, experiments reveal additional conductivity enhancement unexplained by MD, suggesting a distinct transport regime. DFT calculations indicate that Li-ion migration at the PEO|LGPS interface proceeds via vacancy-mediated hopping, with low barriers favored by S-rich interfacial sites and hindered by Ge. These findings link interfacial chemistry and microstructure to Li-ion dynamics, offering guidelines for designing high-performance composite polymer electrolytes.cond-mat updates on arXiv.orgMon, 05 Jan 2026 05:00:00 GMToai:arXiv.org:2601.00112v1[cond-mat updates on arXiv.org] Engineering Ideal 2D Type-II Nodal Line Semimetals via Stacking and Intercalation of van der Waals Layershttps://arxiv.org/abs/2601.00407arXiv:2601.00407v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Two-dimensional type-II topological semimetals (TSMs), characterized by strongly tilted Dirac cones, have attracted intense interest for their unconventional electronic properties and exotic transport behaviors. However, rational design remains challenging due to the sensitivity of band tilting to lattice geometry, atomic coordination, and symmetry constraints. Here, we present a bottom-up approach to engineer ideal type-II nodal line semimetals (NLSMs) in van der Waals bilayers via atomic intercalation. Using monolayer $h$-AlN as a prototype, we show that fluorine-intercalated bilayer AlN (F@BL-AlN) hosts a symmetry-protected type-II nodal loop precisely at the Fermi level, enabled by preserved mirror symmetry ($\mathcal{M}_z$) and tailored interlayer hybridization. First-principles calculations reveal that fluorine not only tunes interlayer coupling but also aligns the Fermi energy with the nodal line, stabilizing the type-II NLSM phase. The system exhibits tunable electronic properties under external electric and strain fields and features a van Hove singularity that induces spontaneous ferromagnetism, realizing a ferromagnetic topological semimetal state. This work provides a versatile platform for designing type-II NLSMs and offers practical guidance for their experimental realization.cond-mat updates on arXiv.orgMon, 05 Jan 2026 05:00:00 GMToai:arXiv.org:2601.00407v1[cond-mat updates on arXiv.org] Kinetic Turing Instability and Emergent Spectral Scaling in Chiral Active Turbulencehttps://arxiv.org/abs/2508.21012arXiv:2508.21012v5 Announce Type: cross
