Intermolecular Forces03:13

Intermolecular Forces

58.0K
Atoms and molecules interact through bonds (or forces): intramolecular and intermolecular. The forces are electrostatic as they arise from interactions (attractive or repulsive) between charged species (permanent, partial, or temporary charges) and exist with varying strengths between ions, polar, nonpolar, and neutral molecules. The different types of intermolecular forces are ion–dipole, dipole–dipole, hydrogen bonds, and dispersion; among these, dipole–dipole, hydrogen...

Van der Waals Interactions

63.7K
Atoms and molecules interact with each other through intermolecular forces. These electrostatic forces arise from attractive or repulsive interactions between particles with permanent, partial, or temporary charges. The intermolecular forces between neutral atoms and molecules are ion–dipole, dipole–dipole, and dispersion forces, collectively known as van der Waals forces.

Potential Due to a Polarized Object

373
A neutral atom consists of a positively charged nucleus surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. When placed in an external electric field, the external electric force pulls the electrons and nucleus apart, opposite to the intrinsic attraction between the nucleus and the electrons. The opposing forces balance each other with a slight shift between the center of masses of the nucleus and the electron cloud, resulting in a polarized atom. On the other hand, a few molecules, like water,...

Intermolecular Forces in Solutions

33.2K
The formation of a solution is an example of a spontaneous process, a process that occurs under specified conditions without energy from some external source.
When the strengths of the intermolecular forces of attraction between solute and solvent species in a solution are no different than those present in the separated components, the solution is formed with no accompanying energy change. Such a solution is called an ideal solution. A mixture of ideal gases (or gases such as helium and argon,...

Area of Science:

  • Computational chemistry
  • Materials science
  • Machine learning

Background:

  • Neural network potentials (NNPs) provide accurate and efficient calculations for chemical systems.
  • NNPs often require corrections for long-range interactions like London dispersion, especially when trained on density-functional theory (DFT) data.
  • Existing dispersion models may not be optimally suited for integration with NNPs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the requirements for effective dispersion models in neural network potentials.
  • To introduce and highlight the Machine Learned eXchange-Hole Dipole Moment (MLXDM) model for NNP dispersion corrections.
  • To demonstrate how MLXDM addresses the need for accurate long-range physics in NNPs.

Main Methods:

  • Leveraging density-functional theory (DFT) principles for dispersion correction.
  • Developing the MLXDM model based on the exchange-hole dipole moment (XDM) approach.
  • Utilizing neural networks to approximate atomic moments and polarizabilities for XDM calculations.

Main Results:

  • The MLXDM model effectively incorporates London dispersion physics into NNPs.
  • Atomic moments and polarizabilities, crucial for XDM, can be accurately approximated by neural networks.
  • The MLXDM model meets the requirements for dispersion modeling in NNPs.

Conclusions:

  • The MLXDM model presents a viable solution for enhancing NNPs with accurate dispersion interactions.
  • Neural network-based approximations of atomic properties are effective for dispersion corrections.
  • This approach advances the capability of NNPs for large-scale, accurate chemical simulations.
