从头算液态水的量子动力学和光谱学:核和电子量子效应的相互作用

Quantum dynamics and spectroscopy of ab initio liquid water: the interplay of nuclear and electronic quantum effects

Ondrej Marsalek, Thomas E. Markland

摘要:

理解原子水平上的水溶液的反应性和光谱对于化学过程的阐明和设计至关重要。然而,这些系统的模拟需要解决处理电子和原子核的量子性质的巨大挑战。利用我们最近开发的可提供高达两个数量级加速的方法,我们将路径积分模拟与混合密度泛函理论水平上的电子结构实时评估相结合,以捕获核量子效应之间的相互作用和电子表面。在这里,我们表明,这种组合提供了准确的结构和动力学,包括完整的红外和拉曼光谱的液态水。这使我们能够证明和解释当原子核被量子力学处理时,动力学和振动光谱的低水平密度泛函的失败。因此,这些见解为水环境中光谱学和反应性的可靠研究提供了基础。

英文摘要:

Understanding the reactivity and spectroscopy of aqueous solutions at the atomistic level is crucial for the elucidation and design of chemical processes. However, the simulation of these systems requires addressing the formidable challenges of treating the quantum nature of both the electrons and nuclei. Exploiting our recently developed methods that provide acceleration by up to two orders of magnitude, we combine path integral simulations with on-the-fly evaluation of the electronic structure at the hybrid density functional theory level to capture the interplay between nuclear quantum effects and the electronic surface. Here we show that this combination provides accurate structure and dynamics, including the full infra-red and Raman spectra of liquid water. This allows us to demonstrate and explain the failings of lower-level density functionals for dynamics and vibrational spectroscopy when the nuclei are treated quantum mechanically. These insights thus provide a foundation for the reliable investigation of spectroscopy and reactivity in aqueous environments.
