contents Accurate crystal structure determination is critical across all scientific disciplines involving crystalline materials. However, solving and refining inorganic crystal structures from powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) data is traditionally a labor-intensive and time-consuming process that demands substantial expertise. In this work, we introduce PXRDGen, an end-to-end neural network that determines crystal structures by learning joint structural distributions from experimentally stable crystals and their PXRD, producing atomically accurate structures refined through PXRD data. PXRDGen integrates a pretrained XRD encoder, a diffusion/flow-based structure generator, and a Rietveld refinement module, enabling the solution of structures with unparalleled accuracy in a matter of seconds. Evaluation on MP-20 inorganic dataset reveals a remarkable matching rate of 82% (1 sample) and 96% (20 samples) for valid compounds, with Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) approaching the precision limits of Rietveld refinement. PXRDGen effectively tackles key challenges in XRD, such as the precise localization of light atoms, differentiation of neighboring elements, and resolution of overlapping peaks. Overall, PXRDGen marks a significant advancement in the automated determination of crystal structures from powder diffraction data.
