Dissecting the hydrogen bond network of water: Charge transfer and nuclear quantum effects

Sylvie Roke, Mischa Samuel Flór, David Mark Wilkins

The molecular structure of water is dynamic, with intermolecular hydrogen (H) bond interactions being modified by both electronic charge transfer and nuclear quantum effects (NQEs). Electronic charge transfer and NQEs potentially change under acidic or bas ...

Gaussian Process Regression for Materials and Molecules

Michele Ceriotti, David Mark Wilkins

We provide an introduction to Gaussian process regression (GPR) machinelearning methods in computational materials science and chemistry. The focus of the present review is on the regression of atomistic properties: in particular, on the construction of in ...

Inexpensive modeling of quantum dynamics using path integral generalized Langevin equation thermostats

Michele Ceriotti, David Mark Wilkins, Venkat Kapil, Jinggang Lan

The properties of molecules and materials containing light nuclei are affected by their quantum mechanical nature. Accurate modeling of these quantum nuclear effects requires computationally demanding path integral techniques. Considerable success has been ...

Predicting molecular dipole moments by combining atomic partial charges and atomic dipoles

Michele Ceriotti, David Mark Wilkins, Max David Veit, Yang Yang

The molecular dipole moment (mu) is a central quantity in chemistry. It is essential in predicting infrared and sum-frequency generation spectra as well as induction and long-range electrostatic interactions. Furthermore, it can be extracted directly-via t ...

Determination and evaluation of the nonadditivity in wetting of molecularly heterogeneous surfaces

Francesco Stellacci, Michele Ceriotti, Sylvie Roke, Quy Ong Khac, Halil Ibrahim Okur, David Mark Wilkins, Zhi Luo, Anna Murello, Filip Kovacik

The interface between water and folded proteins is very complex. Proteins have "patchy" solvent-accessible areas composed of domains of varying hydrophobicity. The textbook understanding is that these domains contribute additively to interfacial properties ...

i-PI 2.0: A universal force engine for advanced molecular simulations

Michele Ceriotti, Anne-Clémence Corminboeuf, David Mark Wilkins, Bingqing Cheng, Venkat Kapil, Riccardo Petraglia, Gareth Aneurin Tribello, Benjamin Aaron Helfrecht, Mariana Rossi Carvalho, Robert Horst Meissner

Progress in the atomic-scale modeling of matter over the past decade has been tremendous. This progress has been brought about by improvements in methods for evaluating interatomic forces that work by either solving the electronic structure problem explici ...

ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV2019

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 ...

Quantum mechanical static dipole polarizabilities in the QM7b and AlphaML showcase databases

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

While density functional theory (DFT) is often an accurate and efficient methodology for evaluating molecular properties such as energies and multipole moments, this approach often yields larger errors for response properties such as the dipole polarizabil ...
