RamanGPT: Bidirectional Mapping Between Crystal Structures and Raman Spectra with Graph Neural Networks and Generative Transformers

Summary

arXiv:2606.03764v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Raman spectroscopy is one of the most accessible vibrational probes in materials laboratories, but its forward problem (structure to spectrum) is bottlenecked by the cost of density functional perturbation theory, and its inverse problem (spectrum to structure) typically relies on retrieval against curated references. We introduce RamanGPT, a deep-learning framework that addresses both directions for crystalline inorganic materials. The forward model, an Atomistic Line Graph Neural Network (ALIGNN), is trained on the 5{,}099-material Computational Raman Database and predicts 200-bin spectra over 50-1000~cm$^{-1}$ with 42.5\% having a cosine similarity greater than or equal to 0.354 suggesting qualitative features of the target spectrum.
