Molecular line emission is a powerful probe of the physical conditions of astrophysical objects but can be complex to model, and it is often unclear which transitions would be the best targets for observers who wish to constrain a given…
We investigate nuclear matter properties in the relativistic Brueckner approach. The in-medium on-shell T-matrix is represented covariantly by five Lorentz invariant amplitudes from which we deduce directly the nucleon self-energy. To…
The analysis and modelling of a range of plasmas (for example: astrophysical, laser-produced and fusion), require atomic data for a number of parameters, such as energy levels, radiative rates and electron impact excitation rates, or…
In this paper we introduce a three-dimensional version of the Mercedes-Benz model to describe water molecules. In this model van der Waals interactions and hydrogen bonds are given explicitly through a Lennard-Jones potential and a Gaussian…
We introduce a rigorous, physically appealing, and practical way to measure distances between exchange-only correlations of interacting many-electron systems, which works regardless of their size and inhomogeneity. We show that this…
We suggest a simple model to describe polyamorphism in single-component fluids using a maximum-valence approach. The model contains three types of interactions: i) atoms attract each other by van der Waals forces that generate a liquid-gas…
We present a new model of warm dense matter that represents an intermediate approach between the relative simplicity of ''one-ion'' average atom models and the more realistic but computationally expensive ab initio simulation methods.…
Recent advances in machine learning and their applications have lead to the development of diverse structure-property relationship models for crucial chemical properties, and the solvation free energy is one of them. Here, we introduce a…
In this paper we consider the problem of characterizing the minimum energy configurations of a finite system of particles interacting between them due to attracting or repulsive forces given by a certain inter molecular potential. We limit…

We investigate how microscopic features of interparticle potentials influence macroscopic critical point parameters. Our analytical calculations are based on the cell model for continuous many-particle systems. We explore two types of pair…

Interatomic potentials have been widely used in atomistic simulations such as molecular dynamics. Recently, frameworks to construct accurate interatomic potentials that combine a systematic set of density functional theory (DFT)…
We develop an Fe-C-H interatomic potential based on the modified embedded-atom method (MEAM) formalism based on density functional theory to enable large-scale modular dynamics simulations of carbon steel and hydrogen.
The ion-electron coupling properties for a ion impurity in an electron gas and for a two component plasma are carried out on the basis of a regularized electron-ion potential removing the short-range Coulomb divergence. This work is largely…
While molecular dynamics (MD) is a very useful computational method for atomistic simulations, modeling the interatomic interactions for reliable MD simulations of real materials has been a long-standing challenge. In 2007, Behler and…
Machine learning (ML) based interatomic potentials are emerging tools for materials simulations but require a trade-off between accuracy and speed. Here we show how one can use one ML potential model to train another: we use an existing,…
The atomic dipole polarizability, $\alpha$, and the van der Waals (vdW) radius, $R_{\rm vdW}$, are two key quantities to describe vdW interactions between atoms in molecules and materials. Until now, they have been determined independently…
The long-range forces that act between three atoms are analysed in both atom-diatom and atom-atom-atom representations. Expressions for atom-diatom dispersion coefficients are obtained in terms of 3-body nonadditive coefficients. The…
The development of differentiable invariant descriptors for accurate representations of atomic environments plays a central role in the success of interatomic potentials for chemistry and materials science. We introduce a method to generate…
