Agentic multi-fidelity learning of quasiparticle and excitonic properties

Many-body GW-Bethe-Salpeter equation calculations are essential for accurate simulations of electronic structure and optical properties in modern low-dimensional nanomaterials. However, these methods are computationally demanding and can exhibit localized numerical instabilities or convergence failures that are difficult to detect within high-throughput workflows. We introduce an agent-guided multi-fidelity framework for correcting GW-Bethe-Salpeter excited-state landscapes in strained MoS2-WS2 bilayers. Across stacking registries, strain branches and reciprocal-space samplings, the workflow identifies spike-like excursions, near-zero-gap collapse and cross-fidelity inconsistencies associated with fragile long-wavelength dielectric screening. A structural agent evaluates calculations by assigning confidence weights and selectively using a small number of high-accuracy reference points. Machine learning models then transfer information across related systems and apply Gaussian process corrections to recover improved quasiparticle gaps and exciton binding energies, with calibrated uncertainty estimates. The approach corrects numerically induced artifacts without erasing physical strain dependence and substantially improves agreement with higher-fidelity references relative to a no-agent baseline. These results show that reliable surrogate learning for excited-state materials requires explicit diagnosis of numerical fragility, not direct interpolation of raw first-principles data points. The proposed framework is readily transferable to other optoelectronic nanomaterials characterized by strong quantum confinement, such as quantum dots, nanoribbons, layered two-dimensional semiconductors, and hybrid perovskite nanostructures.

Deep Generative Learning of Magnetic Frustration in Artificial Spin Ice from Magnetic Force Microscopy Images

Increasingly large datasets of microscopic images with atomic resolution facilitate the development of machine learning methods to identify and analyze subtle physical phenomena embedded within the images. In this work, microscopic images of honeycomb lattice spin-ice samples serve as datasets from which we automate the calculation of net magnetic moments and directional orientations of spin-ice configurations. In the first stage of our workflow, machine learning models are trained to accurately predict magnetic moments and directions within spin-ice structures. Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), an emergent unsupervised deep learning technique, are employed to generate high-quality synthetic magnetic force microscopy (MFM) images and extract latent feature representations, thereby reducing experimental and segmentation errors. The second stage of proposed methodology enables precise identification and prediction of frustrated vertices and nanomagnetic segments, effectively correlating structural and functional aspects of microscopic images. This facilitates the design of optimized spin-ice configurations with controlled frustration patterns, enabling potential on-demand synthesis.
