New UniHam Dataset Advances Hamiltonian Learning for Materials Science

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Researchers have developed UniHam, a large-scale dataset and benchmark suite designed to advance Hamiltonian learning for materials science. This dataset includes over 100,000 complex-valued Hermitian Hamiltonians computed using density functional theory, incorporating spin-orbit coupling across 72 elements and diverse crystal structures. UniHam aims to overcome the data limitations of existing Hamiltonian datasets, which are often small and lack structural diversity. The benchmark suite evaluates models on Hamiltonian reconstruction accuracy, out-of-distribution generalization, and their ability to support downstream property prediction, revealing element-dependent failure modes and compositional OOD robustness.

    UniHam: A Large-Scale SOC-Complete Dataset and Benchmark for Hamiltonian Learning in Materials

    Accurate prediction of electronic Hamiltonians would enable broad property inference while avoiding the high computational cost of Density Functional Theory (DFT). However, progress toward general-purpose materials foundation models is limited by a data bottleneck: existing Hamil…
