Abstract
Calculating accurate IR spectra from molecular dynamics simulations is crucial for understanding structural dynamics and benchmarking simulations. While machine learning has accelerated such calculations, leveraging finite-cluster data to compute condensed-phase IR spectra remains unexplored. In this work, we address a fundamental question: Can a machine learning model trained exclusively on electronic structure calculations of finite-size clusters reproduce the bulk IR spectrum? Using the atomic polar tensor as a target training property, we demonstrate that the corresponding equivariant neural network accurately recovers the bulk IR spectrum of liquid water, establishing the key link between finite-cluster data and bulk properties.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation invites new and original contributions with the understanding that, if accepted, they will not be published elsewhere. Papers reporting new theories, methodology, and/or important applications in quantum electronic structure, molecular dynamics, and statistical mechanics are appropriate for submission to this Journal. Specific topics include advances in or applications of ab initio quantum mechanics, density functional theory, design and properties of new materials, surface science, Monte Carlo simulations, solvation models, QM/MM calculations, biomolecular structure prediction, and molecular dynamics in the broadest sense including gas-phase dynamics, ab initio dynamics, biomolecular dynamics, and protein folding. The Journal does not consider papers that are straightforward applications of known methods including DFT and molecular dynamics. The Journal favors submissions that include advances in theory or methodology with applications to compelling problems.
