摘要
Density functional theory (DFT) gives the electronic structure of materials, but its cost limits large-supercell calculations and materials screening. Machine-learned Hamiltonians bypass the self-consistent cycle but are usually system-specific; universal ones could cover new compositions and disordered solids. Such models must generalize across chemistry and keep downstream properties physical, while staying inexpensive for large cells. Here we introduce UniTB, a universal E(3) equivariant Hamiltonian representation framework that integrates physical priors rooted in density-functional tight-binding theory with deep learning. UniTB's network, which corrects a prior Hamiltonian, generalizes across chemistry through a mixture of experts routed by that prior and a charge-equilibration head as in self-consistent-charge tight binding. A projection bounds band shifts from the prior, suppressing spurious states and keeping downstream properties physical. We provide the fastest SO(2) tensor-product GPU kernels for the network. The variant UniTB-Flash assembles its prior from two-center tables at $O(N)$ cost for $N$ atoms, against $O(N\log N)$ on a grid. Trained on 29,242 crystals, UniTB reaches a 0.48 meV matrix-element error on nonmagnetic test crystals spanning 68 elements. Without amorphous training data, both models agree with DFT optics and conductivity of amorphous Ge-Sb-Te. UniTB-Flash ranks candidates with no significant difference from UniTB, whose property values are more accurate; together they screen 16,195 crystals for five application domains of industrial relevance.
