Abstract

The dynamics of water molecules plays a vital role in understanding water. We combined computer simulation and deep learning to study the dynamics of H-bonds between water molecules. Based on ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and a newly defined directed Hydrogen (H-) bond population operator, we studied a typical dynamic process in bulk water: interchange, in which the H-bond donor reverses roles with the acceptor. By designing a recurrent neural network-based model, we have successfully classified the interchange and breakage processes in water. We have found that the ratio between them is approximately 1:4, and it hardly depends on temperatures from 280 to 360 K. This work implies that deep learning has the great potential to help distinguish complex dynamic processes containing H-bonds in other systems.
