Kernel Charge Equilibration: Machine Learned Interatomic Potentials With Full Long-Range Electrostatics — •Martin Vondrak, Johannes T. Margraf, and Karsten Reuter — Fritz Haber Institute of the Max Planck Society, Berlin, Germany
Machine learning (ML) techniques have recently been shown to bridge the gap between accurate first-principles methods and computationally cheap empirical potentials. This is achieved by learning a mapping between a systems structure its physical properties. State-of-the-art models typically represent chemical structures in terms of local atomic environments to this end. This inevitably leads to the neglect of long-range interactions (most prominently electrostatics) and non-local phenomena (e.g. charge transfer), resulting in significant errors in the description of polar molecules and materials (particularly in non-isotropic environments). To overcome these issues, we recently proposed a ML framework for predicting charge distributions in molecules termed Kernel Charge Equilibration (kQEq). Here, atomic charges are derived from a physical model using environment-dependent atomic electronegativities. In this contributions, strategies for creating kQEq interatomic potentials are discussed, including the combination of short-ranged Gaussian Approximation Potentials with kQEq.
