Deep learning has fostered many novel applications in materials informatics. However, the inverse design of inorganic crystals, $textit{i.e.}$ generating new crystal structure with targeted properties, remains a grand challenge. An important ingredient for such generative models is an invertible representation that accesses the full periodic table. This is challenging due to limited data availability and the complexity of 3D periodic crystal structures. In this paper, we present a generalized invertible representation that encodes the crystallographic information into the descriptors in both real space and reciprocal space. Combining with a generative variational autoencoder (VAE), a wide range of crystallographic structures and chemistries with desired properties can be inverse-designed. We show that our VAE model predicts novel crystal structures that do not exist in the training and test database (Materials Project) with targeted formation energies and band gaps. We validate those predicted crystals by first-principles calculations. Finally, to design solids with practical applications, we address the sparse label problem by building a semi-supervised VAE and demonstrate its successful prediction of unique thermoelectric materials
Autonomous materials discovery with desired properties is one of the ultimate goals for modern materials science. Applying the deep learning techniques, we have developed a generative model which can predict distinct stable crystal structures by opti
Locally resonant elastic metamaterials (LREM) can be designed, by optimizing the geometry of the constituent self-repeating unit cells, to potentially damp out vibration in selected frequency ranges, thus yielding desired bandgaps. However, it remain
The discovery of new multicomponent inorganic compounds can provide direct solutions to many scientific and engineering challenges, yet the vast size of the uncharted material space dwarfs current synthesis throughput. While the computational crystal

Inverse design is an outstanding challenge in disordered systems with multiple length scales such as polymers, particularly when designing polymers with desired phase behavior. We demonstrate high-accuracy tuning of poly(2-oxazoline) cloud point via
