使用高斯过程回归使从头算瞬子速率理论有效

Ab initio instanton rate theory made efficient using Gaussian process regression

Gabriel Laude, Danilo Calderini, David P. Tew, Jeremy O. Richardson

摘要:

从头算瞬子速率理论是一种计算方法,用于严格地将隧道效应包括到基于从电子结构理论快速计算的势能面的化学反应速率的计算中。这种方法是必要的,以延长传统的过渡态理论到深隧穿制度,但也更昂贵的计算,因为它需要更多的从头计算。我们提出了一种方法,它使用高斯过程回归拟合的势能面局部周围的主导隧穿路径。该方法可以收敛,得到相同的结果,从一个飞从头算瞬子计算,但需要少得多的电子结构计算。这使得它成为一个实用的方法,获得准确的速率常数的基础上,高层次的电子结构方法。在UCCSD(T)-F12 b/cc-pVTZ-F12水平上,我们展示了快速收敛以重现基准H + CH 4结果并评估全维H + C2 H6的新低温速率。

英文摘要:

Ab initio instanton rate theory is a computational method for rigorously including tunnelling effects into calculations of chemical reaction rates based on a potential-energy surface computed on the fly from electronic-structure theory. This approach is necessary to extend conventional transition-state theory into the deep-tunnelling regime, but is also more computationally expensive as it requires many more ab initio calculations. We propose an approach which uses Gaussian process regression to fit the potential-energy surface locally around the dominant tunnelling pathway. The method can be converged to give the same result as from an on-the-fly ab initio instanton calculation but requires far fewer electronic-structure calculations. This makes it a practical approach for obtaining accurate rate constants based on high-level electronic-structure methods. We show fast convergence to reproduce benchmark H + CH4 results and evaluate new low-temperature rates of H + C2H6 in full dimensionality at a UCCSD(T)-F12b/cc-pVTZ-F12 level.
