| contents | Bridging the gap between diffuse x-ray or neutron scattering measurements and predicted structures derived from atom-atom pair potentials in disordered materials, has been a longstanding challenge in condensed matter physics. This perspective gives a brief overview of the traditional approaches employed over the past several decades. Namely, the use of approximate interatomic pair potentials that relate 3-dimensional structural models to the measured structure factor and its associated pair distribution function. The use of machine learned interatomic potentials has grown in the past few years, and has been particularly successful in the cases of ionic and oxide systems. Recent advances in large scale sampling, along with a direct integration of scattering measurements into the model development, has provided improved agreement between experiments and large-scale models calculated with quantum mechanical accuracy. However, details of local polyhedral bonding and connectivity in meta-stable disordered systems still require improvement. Here we leverage MACE-MP-0; a newly introduced equivariant foundation model and validate the results against high-quality experimental scattering data for the case of molten iron(II) oxide (FeO). These preliminary results suggest that the emerging foundation model has the potential to surpass the traditional limitations of classical interatomic potentials. |
