First-principles adaptive-boost accelerated molecular dynamics simulation with effective boost potential construction methods: a study of Li diffusion in Si crystal
Abstract:First-principles molecular dynamics (FPMD) simulation is a powerful tool for studying the mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties of materials. However, because of the fundamental time-scale limitation of molecular dynamics and the high computational cost of density functional theory, many of the rare events that dominate these properties cannot be directly investigated. Several methods of accelerating FPMD calculations have been developed to analyze these rare events, but to the best of the authors’ know… Show more
