Developing accurate potential energy functions (PEFs) is crucial for modeling nanoscale systems. This study shows that PEFs trained on diverse data, including clusters and bulk, perform well for aluminum nanoparticles.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Computational Chemistry
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Potential energy functions (PEFs) are essential for simulating material properties.
  • PEFs trained solely on bulk data often fail for nanoscale systems like clusters and nanoparticles.
  • Developing accurate PEFs for diverse system sizes remains a challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the performance of PEFs for aluminum nanoparticles and clusters.
  • To develop a practical scheme for creating accurate PEFs for nanoscale systems.
  • To optimize PEFs that perform well across various system sizes, from clusters to bulk.

Main Methods:

  • Parametrization of PEFs using a combination of bulk, cluster, and nanoparticle data.
  • Optimization of five PEFs by minimizing fitting errors across a broad dataset.

    • Main Results:

    • PEFs trained only on bulk data showed poor performance for small aluminum nanoparticles.
    • PEFs trained on limited cluster and bulk data, excluding nanoparticle data, performed well for nanoparticles.
    • Two optimized PEFs achieved errors of less than or equal to 0.08 eV/atom for clusters, nanoparticles, and bulk.

    Conclusions:

    • A practical scheme for developing PEFs for nanoscale systems is validated.
    • Optimized PEFs demonstrate high accuracy across a wide range of aluminum system sizes.
    • The findings provide reliable PEFs for future simulations of nanoscale materials.
