+ # Crystal-RL: surrogate-vs-DFT effective-mass gap
31
+
32
+ Two related tables from the [`crystal-rl`](https://github.com/bshepp/crystal-rl)
33
+ materials-discovery project:
34
+
35
+ 1. **`bootstrap_signed_mstar`** — 794 Quantum ESPRESSO DFT calculations on
36
+ perturbed semiconductor crystal structures, with **signed** effective
37
+ mass values (681 negative, 113 positive). Signed-m\* DFT data is rare:
38
+ JARVIS, Materials Project, and AFLOW all store magnitudes only, which
39
+ destroys the sign that distinguishes band-inverted from normal-curvature
40
+ bands. This subset is the primary reusable artifact for anyone training
41
+ signed-m\* surrogate models.
42
+
43
+ 2. **`surrogate_dft_pairs`** — 24 surrogate-prediction-vs-DFT-truth pairs
44
+ across three independent RL+surrogate validation rounds. This subset
45
+ exists to support a methodological claim: **across three independent
46
+ pipeline variants** (unsigned-m\* baseline, signed-m\* with bootstrap data
47
+ absent, signed-m\* with bootstrap data loaded), **zero of 24 surrogate-
48
+ selected candidates DFT-validated as low-positive-effective-mass
49
+ semiconductors**. 19 of 24 instead showed negative DFT band curvature
50
+ (band-inversion signature). The dataset is published so other groups can
51
+ study the gap directly.
52
+
53
+ ## Dataset summary
54
+
55
+ | Subset | Records | What's in it |
56
+ |---|---|---|
57
+ | `bootstrap_signed_mstar` | 794 | Per-structure DFT outputs + 156-dim structural fingerprint |
58
+ | `surrogate_dft_pairs` | 24 | Per-candidate surrogate prediction *and* DFT measurement |
59
+
60
+ Both subsets load with the standard 🤗 Datasets library:
61
+
62
+ ```python
63
+ from datasets import load_dataset
64
+
65
+ # Default config (the bootstrap table)
66
+ boot = load_dataset("bshepp/rl-surrogate-dft-gap", split="train")
67
+
68
+ # Explicit subset
69
+ pairs = load_dataset("bshepp/rl-surrogate-dft-gap",
70
+ "surrogate_dft_pairs", split="train")
71
+ ```
72
+
73
+ ## Subsets
74
+
75
+ ### `bootstrap_signed_mstar` (794 rows)
76
+
77
+ Effective-mass + band-gap DFT outputs for 794 perturbed semiconductor
78
+ structures, plus the 156-dimensional structural fingerprint used by the
79
+ `crystal-rl` surrogate. Generated on AWS EC2 (`c5.4xlarge`) in February
80
+ 2026 over 4 rounds of bootstrap exploration starting from 10 seed
81
+ families (Si, Ge, C-diamond, GaAs, AlAs, InAs, GaP, SiC-3C, InP, AlN).
82
+
83
+ | Column | Type | Description |
84
+ |---|---|---|
85
+ | `row_id` | int64 | Stable record index (0..793). Matches the row index in the source `bootstrap_expanded_all.json`. |
86
+ | `seed` | string | Seed family the structure was derived from (e.g. `"Si"`, `"GaAs"`). |
87
+ | `label` | string | Free-form provenance label from the bootstrap pipeline. |
88
+ | `formula` | string | Chemical formula of the final structure (e.g. `"As2Ga2"`). |
89
+ | `dft_m_electron` | float64 | Signed electron effective mass at the conduction band edge (mₑ units). Negative ⇒ negative band curvature (band inversion). |
90
+ | `dft_m_hole` | float64 | Signed hole effective mass at the valence band edge (mₑ units). |
91
+ | `dft_m_min_signed` | float64 | Smallest-magnitude effective mass found in the band structure, **signed** by curvature. This is the canonical signed-m\* training target. |
92
+ | `dft_band_gap_ev` | float64 | PBE band gap in eV. 0 means metallic. |
93
+ | `dft_vbm_ev` / `dft_cbm_ev` | float64 | Valence/conduction band edge positions in eV. |
94
+ | `is_direct_gap` | bool? | True if Γ-point gap, False if indirect, null if undetermined. |
95
+ | `qe_runtime_seconds` | float64 | Wall-clock seconds the QE `pw.x` job took on a c5.4xlarge core. |
96
+ | `fingerprint_156` | list&lt;float32&gt;\[156\] | 12 composition + 4 elemental property + 8 lattice + 64 RDF + 64 partial-RDF features. Composition palette: `H, C, N, O, Si, P, Ge, Ga, As, In, Sn, Al, Sb, Bi, Se, Te`. See [`qe_interface/structures.py`](https://github.com/bshepp/crystal-rl/blob/master/qe_interface/structures.py) for the exact fingerprint code. |
97
+
98
+ **Signed-m\* distribution**: 681 records with `dft_m_min_signed < 0`,
99
+ 113 with `dft_m_min_signed > 0`. The skew toward negative is a property
100
+ of which structures the bootstrap perturbation chose to retain — *not*
101
+ of materials in general.
102
+
103
+ ### `surrogate_dft_pairs` (24 rows)
104
+
105
+ Side-by-side surrogate prediction and DFT measurement for the top
106
+ candidates produced by three independent RL training runs.
107
+
108
+ | Column | Type | Description |
109
+ |---|---|---|
110
+ | `run_id` | string | One of `phase7`, `pathb_run1`, `pathb_run3`. See [Methodology](#methodology) below for what changed between runs. |
111
+ | `formula` | string | Chemical formula of the candidate produced by the PPO agent. |
112
+ | `seed` | string | Seed structure the agent perturbed from. |
113
+ | `surrogate_m_star` | float64 | Surrogate's predicted effective mass for this candidate. |
114
+ | `surrogate_reward` | float64 | PPO reward the agent received from the surrogate. |
115
+ | `dft_m_min_signed` | float64 | DFT signed m\* of the minimum-magnitude band. |
116
+ | `dft_m_electron` | float64 | Signed conduction-band m\*. |
117
+ | `dft_m_hole` | float64 | Signed valence-band m\*. |
118
+ | `dft_band_gap_ev` | float64 | PBE band gap in eV. |
119
+ | `dft_converged` | bool | True if QE SCF + bands converged. (All 24 are True.) |
120
+ | `dft_runtime_seconds` | float64 | Wall-clock QE time. |
121
+ | `unusual_topology` | bool | True if DFT showed negative band curvature (band-inversion signature). |
122
+ | `is_low_positive_semiconductor` | bool | Convenience: `dft_m_min_signed > 0 AND < 0.5 AND dft_band_gap_ev > 0.1`. **True for 0 of 24 records.** |
123
+
124
+ ## Methodology
125
+
126
+ The `surrogate_dft_pairs` subset spans three runs of the
127
+ `crystal-rl` pipeline:
128
+
129
+ | `run_id` | Surrogate variant | What changed | Surrogate m\* corr | DFT-validated low-pos. m\* |
130
+ |---|---|---|---|---|
131
+ | `phase7` | Unsigned-m\* (pre Phase-9 fix) | Original 152-dim, 12-element palette | 0.928 | 0 / 8 |
132
+ | `pathb_run1` | Signed-m\*, palette expanded to 16, **bootstrap data accidentally not loaded** (fingerprint-dim mismatch with cached `surrogate_data.npz`) | 156-dim fingerprint, 16-element palette, Sb/Bi/Se/Te pseudopotentials registered | 0.495 | 0 / 8 |
133
+ | `pathb_run3` | Signed-m\*, palette expanded to 16, **bootstrap data loaded** (after zero-padding the cached 152-dim fingerprints to 156-dim via `scripts/regen_bootstrap_for_palette.py`) | as above | 0.768 | 0 / 8 |
134
+
135
+ The cumulative finding is **0 / 24** — the same answer regardless of the
136
+ surrogate's accuracy on its own validation set. The 24 candidates were
137
+ picked by three different surrogate models trained on three different
138
+ data mixes, but the DFT outcome is consistent: surrogate-selected
139
+ low-m\* predictions don't validate.
140
+
141
+ ## Source data &amp; collection
142
+
143
+ - **`bootstrap_signed_mstar`** was collected by perturbing the 10 seed
144
+ crystal families (formula edits, lattice scaling, position
145
+ perturbation) and running PBE DFT (Quantum ESPRESSO 7.3.1, SSSP
146
+ Efficiency pseudopotentials, 30 Ry wavefunction cutoff, 4×4×4 k-points
147
+ for SCF, 20-point band path for the m\* extraction). Effective mass
148
+ was extracted from a parabolic fit to the band curvature at extrema
149
+ — sign-preserving. All 794 calculations converged.
150
+ - **`surrogate_dft_pairs`** was collected by running each trained PPO
151
+ agent for 30 deterministic episodes, deduplicating by formula, taking
152
+ the top 8 by surrogate-predicted reward, and DFT-validating each. All
153
+ 3 × 8 = 24 calculations converged.
154
+
155
+ ## Intended uses
156
+
157
+ - **Train signed-m\* surrogates** without losing the negative-curvature
158
+ examples. The 681 negative records are particularly load-bearing —
159
+ most public datasets remove the sign.
160
+ - **Benchmark RL-discovery pipelines** against a known failure mode.
161
+ If your method produces surrogate predictions that disagree
162
+ systematically with DFT in this same way, you're hitting the same
163
+ gaming dynamic.
164
+ - **Study the surrogate-DFT calibration gap.** The `surrogate_dft_pairs`
165
+ subset is small (24 rows) but each pair is a controlled
166
+ comparison: same fingerprint, same structure, same DFT settings,
167
+ different surrogate.
168
+ - **Cite the negative result.** This dataset is intentionally published
169
+ to make the finding citable rather than letting it die as a side
170
+ comment in a repo README.
171
+
172
+ ## Limitations &amp; what this dataset is *not*
173
+
174
+ - This is **not a benchmark of "best low-m\* materials"** — the
175
+ candidate formulas listed in `surrogate_dft_pairs` were chosen by an
176
+ RL agent that turned out to game its surrogate. Treating them as
177
+ recommended materials would invert the intended use.
178
+ - **PBE-level DFT.** All values are PBE outputs from Quantum ESPRESSO
179
+ with SSSP Efficiency pseudopotentials. PBE is known to underestimate
180
+ band gaps and, for some compositions, give qualitatively wrong band
181
+ ordering. Hybrid-functional (HSE06) or GW calculations would shift
182
+ some values significantly. The signed-m\* *sign* is generally robust
183
+ to functional choice; the magnitudes are not.
184
+ - **Small validation cohort.** 24 surrogate-DFT pairs is a strong signal
185
+ for a single project but not large enough to claim a universal law
186
+ about RL-surrogate gaming. We report what we observed across our 3
187
+ runs; we make no claim about every possible surrogate architecture.
188
+ - **Bootstrap structures cluster around 10 seed families.** They are
189
+ not a uniform sample of the periodic table.
190
+
191
+ ## Reproducibility
192
+
193
+ - **Code:** [github.com/bshepp/crystal-rl](https://github.com/bshepp/crystal-rl)
194
+ - **Pipeline:** the assembly script for this dataset is
195
+ [`scripts/build_hf_dataset.py`](https://github.com/bshepp/crystal-rl/blob/master/scripts/build_hf_dataset.py).
196
+ - **Run artifacts:** the path-B runs (`pathb_run1`, `pathb_run3`) wrote
197
+ full per-stage logs, surrogate weights, PPO checkpoints, and
198
+ manifests to a private S3 bucket; they are not redistributed here
199
+ because they're bulky and replicable from the code. The
200
+ `surrogate_dft_pairs` table is the distilled scientific output.
201
+ - **Quantum ESPRESSO version:** 7.3.1, built from source. SSSP
202
+ Efficiency pseudopotentials.
203
+ - **Surrogate architecture:** `MultiTaskMLP(156 → [192 × SiLU + LN + Drop] ×
204
+ 4 → m\* head + gap head)`, ~142k parameters, trained with two-phase
205
+ protocol (JARVIS+bootstrap then frozen-trunk MP gap fine-tune).
