Compositional neural networks for multimodal X-ray and neutron scattering inversion

X-ray and neutron scattering are indispensable for structural characterization across condensed-matter physics and materials science.

Key points

  • Here we introduce a modular framework for probabilistic multi-measurement analysis based on prior-amortized flow matching.
  • Our single-observation demonstrations span X-ray, time-of-flight neutron and polarized neutron reflectometry.
  • In separate co-refinement studies, task-matched estimators enable homogeneous composition across multiple neutron contrasts and heterogeneous multimodal composition of X-ray and neutron measurements.
  • Together, these results establish compositional flow matching as a modular approach to uncertainty-aware inversion and co-refinement, with potential applicability to other scattering problems in which multiple observations constrain a common physical structure while retaining measurement-specific parameters.
