タイトル : Evaluation of a universal neural network potential for applications to non-ideal structures.
概要 :
Machine learning potentials are promising techniques for accelerating atomistic simulations for materials development. The Preferred Potential (PFP), integrated into Matlantis™, is a recently developed universal graph neural network (GNN) potential trained on large DFT datasets, which include crystals, molecules surfaces, adsorbates and disordered structures1. Such comprehensive training enables PFP to be applied to practical applications in diverse areas, including thermodynamic analysis, reaction kinetics, and molecular dynamics simulations. PFP was shown to perform well in predicting energies and forces reproducing results from the PBE functional, which is used as training data, as well as comparison with experiments1. To ensure the reliable application of universal machine learning potentials, it is crucial to validate their accuracy on specific systems and properties, especially those involving structural imperfections and finite temperatures.
In this study, we have examined the accuracy of PFP for non-ideal structures and thermodynamic properties. Benchmarking of PFP for the grain boundary energies of elemental metals indicate that PFP well reproduces the PBE results. Surface energies for elemental crystals mostly agree well with those of PBE results, while surface energies of transition metals are underestimated. The lower accuracy of these surfaces possibly stem from insufficient training data or from an inaccurate surface magnetism. Specific heat of crystals and organic liquids at finite temperature were modeled using quasi-harmonic phonons and two thermodynamic phase models2, and the PFP results agree well with experiments. These results demonstrate that GNN potentials trained on large dataset well reproduce the potential energy curve around the local minimum with PBE accuracy.
