We present a permutation-invariant distance between atomic configurations, defined through a functional representation of atomic positions. This distance enables to directly compare different atomic environments with an arbitrary number of particles, without going through a space of reduced dimensionality (i.e. fingerprints) as an intermediate step. Moreover, this distance is naturally invariant through permutations of atoms, avoiding the time consuming associated minimization required by other common criteria (like the Root Mean Square Distance). Finally, the invariance through global rotations is accounted for by a minimization procedure in the space of rotations solved by Monte Carlo simulated annealing. A formal framework is also introduced, showing that the distance we propose verifies the property of a metric on the space of atomic configurations. Two examples of applications are proposed. The first one consists in evaluating faithfulness of some fingerprints (or descriptors), i.e. their capacity to represent the structural information of a configuration. The second application concerns structural analysis, where our distance proves to be efficient in discriminating different local structures and even classifying their degree of similarity.
Interpreting molecular dynamics simulations usually involves automated classification of local atomic environments to identify regions of interest. Existing approaches are generally limited to a small number of reference structures and only include l
We investigate the use of invariant polynomials in the construction of data-driven interatomic potentials for material systems. The atomic body-ordered permutation-invariant polynomials (aPIPs) comprise a systematic basis and are constructed to prese
Permutation invariant Gaussian matrix models were recently developed for applications in computational linguistics. A 5-parameter family of models was solved. In this paper, we use a representation theoretic approach to solve the general 13-parameter
We have studied the effect of thermal effects on the structural and transport response of Ag atomic-size nanowires generated by mechanical elongation. Our study involves both time-resolved atomic resolution transmission electron microscopy imaging an
In a research context, image acquisition will often involve a pre-defined static protocol and the data will be of high quality. If we are to build applications that work in hospitals without significant operational changes in care delivery, algorithm
