摘要:

基于从头计算分子动力学(AIMD)模拟的有限温度计算是一种强大的工具,能够预测无法从基态计算中推导出的材料特性。然而,AIMD的高计算成本限制了其对大型或复杂系统的适用性。为了规避这一限制,我们引入了一种新的方法,名为机器学习辅助正则采样(MLACS),加速采样的Born-Oppenheimer势面的正则系综。基于自洽变分过程,该方法迭代地训练机器学习原子间势以生成近似与从头算势能相关联的位置的正则分布的配置。通过证明非谐系统的方法的可靠性,我们表明,该方法是能够再现AIMD的结果与从头算精度在其计算成本的一小部分。

英文摘要:

Finite temperature calculations, based on ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, are a powerful tool able to predict material properties that cannot be deduced from ground state calculations. However, the high computational cost of AIMD limits its applicability for large or complex systems. To circumvent this limitation we introduce a new method named Machine Learning Assisted Canonical Sampling (MLACS), which accelerates the sampling of the Born--Oppenheimer potential surface in the canonical ensemble. Based on a self-consistent variational procedure, the method iteratively trains a Machine Learning Interatomic Potential to generate configurations that approximate the canonical distribution of positions associated with the ab initio potential energy. By proving the reliability of the method on anharmonic systems, we show that the method is able to reproduce the results of AIMD with an ab initio accuracy at a fraction of its computational cost.
