Effect of a temperature gradient on the screening properties of ionic fluids

The electrostatic screening properties of ionic fluids are of paramount importance in countless physical processes. Yet the screening behavior of ionic conductors out of thermal equilibrium has to date mainly been studied in the context of thermoelectric p ...

Roadmap on Machine learning in electronic structure

Michele Ceriotti, Jigyasa Nigam, Andrea Grisafi, Max David Veit

In recent years, we have been witnessing a paradigm shift in computational materials science. In fact, traditional methods, mostly developed in the second half of the XXth century, are being complemented, extended, and sometimes even completely replaced by ...

Multi-scale approach for the prediction of atomic scale properties

Michele Ceriotti, Jigyasa Nigam, Andrea Grisafi

Electronic nearsightedness is one of the fundamental principles that governs the behavior of condensed matter and supports its description in terms of local entities such as chemical bonds. Locality also underlies the tremendous success of machine-learning ...

Physics-enhanced machine learning with symmetry-adapted and long-range representations

Andrea Grisafi

Theoretical and computational approaches to the study of materials and molecules have, over the last few decades, progressed at an exponential rate. Yet, the possibility of producing numerical predictions that are on par with experimental measurements is t ...

Learning Electron Densities in the Condensed Phase

Michele Ceriotti, Andrea Grisafi

We introduce a local machine-learning method for predicting the electron densities of periodic systems. The framework is based on a numerical, atom-centered auxiliary basis, which enables an accurate expansion of the all-electron density in a form suitable ...

Physics-Inspired Structural Representations for Molecules and Materials

Michele Ceriotti, Félix Benedito Clément Musil, Andrea Grisafi

The first step in the construction of a regression model or a data-driven analysis, aiming to predict or elucidate the relationship between the atomic-scale structure of matter and its properties, involves transforming the Cartesian coordinates of the atom ...

Electron density learning of non-covalent systems

Michele Ceriotti, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, Alberto Fabrizio, Benjamin André René Meyer, Andrea Grisafi

Chemists continuously harvest the power of non-covalent interactions to control phenomena in both the micro- and macroscopic worlds. From the quantum chemical perspective, the strategies essentially rely upon an in-depth understanding of the physical origi ...

Incorporating long-range physics in atomic-scale machine learning

Michele Ceriotti, Andrea Grisafi

The most successful and popular machine learning models of atomic-scale properties derive their transferability from a locality ansatz. The properties of a large molecule or a bulk material are written as a sum over contributions that depend on the configu ...

Accurate molecular polarizabilities with coupled cluster theory and machine learning

Michele Ceriotti, David Mark Wilkins, Andrea Grisafi, Yang Yang

The molecular dipole polarizability describes the tendency of a molecule to change its dipole moment in response to an applied electric field. This quantity governs key intra- and intermolecular interactions, such as induction and dispersion; plays a vital ...
