Accurate, yet computationally efficient energy functions are essential for state-of-the art molecular dynamics (MD) studies of condensed phase systems. Here, a generic workflow based on a combination of machine learning-based and empirical…
Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulation is a powerful tool for understanding the dynamics and structure of matter. Since the resolution of MD is atomic-scale, achieving long time-scale simulations with femtosecond integration is very expensive.…
