Computing the free energy along s often requires restraining z, so that sampling embraces a tube centered on the reference path. However, a conventional fixed half-harmonic wall demands an a priori wall position that is both system dependent and s-dependent. Too tight a tube biases the path-projected free energy. Conversely, too loose a tube induces numerical instability and inter-channel leakage. We present an adaptive tube restraint, the wall position of which evolves on the fly to track a fixed contour ΔF∗ of the orthogonal free energy F(z∣s), widening automatically in flat basins and narrowing at pinched saddles, using a user-selected transverse energy scale. We prove that, for a locally harmonic perpendicular well, a contour-following tube captures an s-independent fraction of the orthogonal partition function, so that in the hard-wall limit, its bias cancels out. In stark contrast, the bias of a fixed-width tube varies with s and distorts the free-energy landscape. We probe the algorithm on several model potentials, on N-acetyl-N'-methylalanylamide isomerization, on the folding of the mini-protein chignolin, and on the folding-upon-binding of the ribose-binding protein.

In this work, we present a systematic assessment of the original TCA functional together with the revTCA, gracTCA, and transTCA variants within nonempirical hybrid (TCA0) and double-hybrid (TCA-QIDH) frameworks. Their performance is evaluated using the comprehensive GMTKN55 benchmark database, including more detailed analysis of the challenging MB16-43 and SIE4x4 subsets, as well as three different global performance metrics: WTMAD-2A, WTMAD-2B, and the recently proposed WTMAD-4. The results reveal a consistent improvement in accuracy upon ascending \"Jacob's ladder,\" with the nonempirical double-hybrid models reducing the global errors by approximately a factor of 2-3 relative to their GGA counterparts. Among the semilocal functionals, the original TCA correlation provides the most balanced overall performance, while the differences among the various TCA-based models become much less pronounced at the double-hybrid level. Importantly, the relative ranking of the functionals is essentially unaffected by the choice of the WTMAD metric, demonstrating the robustness of the conclusions with respect to the weighting scheme adopted for the GMTKN55 database. The remaining deficiencies are associated with dispersion-dominated intermolecular interactions, highlighting the potential use of some long-range correlation corrections. Overall, this study confirms that the TCA functional, particularly when adopted in a double-hybrid scheme, constitutes a reliable and transferable framework for the development of accurate density functional approximations applicable to a broad range of chemical problems.</p>","PeriodicalId":15313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Physics","volume":"165 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149182211","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While density functional theory (DFT) offers high accuracy, its computational cost scales prohibitively for large-scale materials. In this work, we present a comprehensive, first-principles-derived database of two-atom interaction potentials and interatomic forces to accelerate the property prediction via physics-informed machine learning. Computed using spin-polarized DFT via the GPAW package, the database encompasses all 2346 possible atomic pairs generated from 68 unique elements as a function of interatomic distance. The practical utility of this database was demonstrated within the many-body expansion framework by engineering highly descriptive features to predict three distinct types of energy for benchmarking. First, the framework was applied to predict the total energy of molecules within the G2/97 database. Second, for defect energetics on 2D materials (the IMP2D database), localized concentric shell potentials and spatial gradients were introduced to capture the formation energy of adsorbate defects. Finally, for molecular energetics within the QM9 database, we developed advanced descriptors, including a potential-based matrix, a two-body Bag of Bonds, and a three-body Ray's asymmetric parameter histogram to evaluate atomization energy. Evaluated using kernel ridge regression, the combined two-body and three-body feature set yielded an outstanding test result with the mean absolute error of 0.186 eV (R2 = 0.9994) on a 10 000-samples subset.

In Parkinson's disease, distinct species of the protein α-synuclein undergo phase transitions from disordered to ordered β-rich states. The emerging species and transitions between them can be reshaped by modulators, e.g., small molecules, peptides or antibodies. Here, we use coarse-grained simulations to understand the effect of modulators on the thermodynamics and kinetics of α-synuclein phase transitions. Each protein is represented as a morphing particle that transforms from a soft sphere (disordered) to a hard spherocylinder (β-rich). Modulators are modeled as soft isotropic particles mimicking peptides. Purely repulsive modulators do not alter the final outcome; that is, fibrils form following the same mechanisms independently of the modulator concentration. Attractive interactions toward the disordered protein dose-dependently slow down fibrillization by stabilizing intermediate species, including persistent disordered heteroclusters. Specific attraction to the β-rich state shortens fibrils through direct modulator surface \"capping\" that introduces kinetic barriers to monomer templating at the fibril ends and inhibits fibril elongation. Overall, these results link modulator properties and environmental conditions to nucleation, fibril elongation, and off-pathway trapping, providing a quantitative roadmap for designing interventions that redirect phase transitions toward desirable endpoints.</p>","PeriodicalId":15313,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Chemical Physics","volume":"165 14","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2026-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149182143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accurate simulations of such conditions remain challenging due to the extreme conditions and the complex influence of internal energy modes. In particular, the common assumption of uncoupled harmonic vibrations may break down, and excited internal energy states can directly influence reaction rates. Previously, anharmonic oscillator models have been developed by other authors to improve the accuracy of the Direct Simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method under such conditions. However, this extension has so far been limited to diatomic molecules. To increase the accuracy of the DSMC method in the open-source code PICLas, the anharmonic oscillator model is extended to include polyatomic species. The proposed model explicitly considers anharmonic effects and intramolecular energy redistribution. The vibrational degrees of freedom are treated in a local mode basis, in which anharmonic stretching modes are harmonically coupled by harmonic bending modes. The coupling allows for the redistribution of localized vibrational excitation. Dissociation can occur by the strong excitation of a stretching mode, and specific modes can be coupled to the reaction coordinate of the transition state in bimolecular exchange reactions. The newly developed model is evaluated by the comparison with high-fidelity calculations for a set of representative processes. Investigated are different dissociation reactions, which exhibit a high degree of energy redistribution, and the hydrogen-exchange reaction between methane and a hydrogen radical, in which only selected modes contribute to the reactive process.

In contrast, for Cl-, the Cl-water correlation of the first hydration shell remains nearly unchanged, whereas the orientational distribution of surrounding water molecules is significantly modified. Charge density analysis reveals that these differences originate from ion-dependent electronic responses: the charge density is more localized around Na+ under the SCAN description, strengthening Na+-water interactions, whereas Cl- is comparatively less affected.

The present work revisits these experiments, as applied to the proton-driven enhancement of rare spins in liquids and in solids under MAS NMR. Average Hamiltonian Theory (AHT) is used to derive the conditions needed for implementing such three-spin transfer in liquids and solids, matching, for the latter case, the conditions derived by MIRROR studies based on triple-mode Floquet theory. AHT was also found in good quantitative agreement with numerical simulations and experiments, which predict that under optimal transfer conditions whereby an I-spin RF irradiation field matches the S1-S2 chemical-shift-difference, a maximum polarization enhancement of γS/γI is achieved. Ca. half of this was effectively obtained for I = 13C in powdered solids, and ca. a quarter in multi-spin solution systems. Such processes are of a reciprocal nature, meaning that the transverse spin-locked polarization of a rare spin can also become \"anti-longitudinal\" ±(S1z- S2z) magnetization of abundant spins.

In this Perspective, we develop a unified framework showing that identical microscopic dynamics can yield different experimentally inferred dephasing times because different detection operators project different sectors of the nonequilibrium dynamics. For coherent emitted-field measurements, the observed linewidth largely retains its conventional connection to the optical coherence time T2. By contrast, in population-detected modalities such as photoluminescence, photocurrent, and other action-detected two-dimensional spectroscopies, the apparent linewidth can additionally encode excited-state population redistribution dynamics, leading naturally to an effective coherence time T2,eff. Using a coupled-mode model propagated under a common Liouvillian, we show that identical microscopic dynamics yield distinct apparent dephasing times when projected onto coherent-emission and population-derived observables.
