摘要:

采用SCAN元-GGA泛函近似,对正则系综中的液态水进行了从头算分子动力学(AIMD)模拟,并与GGA水平的PBE泛函和包含PBE泛函的Tkatchenko-Scheffler van der Waals(vdW)色散修正的结果进行了系统的比较.我们分析了液态水的各种性质,包括径向分布函数,氧-氧-氧三重态角分布,四面体,氢键,扩散系数,环统计,态密度,带隙和偶极矩。我们发现,扫描功能通常是更准确的比其他两个功能的液态水,不仅捕获的中程VDW相互作用,但也减轻了PBE模拟中规定的过于强大的氢键。我们还比较了基于扫描的AIMD模拟的结果在典型的等温等压合奏。我们的研究结果表明,SCAN提供了一个可靠的描述大多数结构,电子和动力学性质的液态水。

英文摘要:

We perform ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulation of liquid water in the canonical ensemble at ambient conditions using the SCAN meta-GGA functional approximation, and carry out systematic comparisons with the results obtained from the GGA-level PBE functional, and Tkatchenko-Scheffler van der Waals (vdW) dispersion correction inclusive PBE functional. We analyze various properties of liquid water including radial distribution functions, oxygen-oxygen-oxygen triplet angular distribution, tetrahedrality, hydrogen bonds, diffusion coefficients, ring statistics, density of states, band gaps, and dipole moments. We find that the SCAN functional is generally more accurate than the other two functionals for liquid water by not only capturing the intermediate-range vdW interactions but also mitigating the overly strong hydrogen bonds prescribed in PBE simulations. We also compare the results of SCAN-based AIMD simulations in the canonical and isothermal-isobaric ensembles. Our results suggest that SCAN provides a reliable description for most structural, electronic, and dynamical properties in liquid water.
