Evaluating mechanical property prediction across material classes using molecular dynamics simulations with universal machine-learned interatomic potentials - Communications Chemistry
4+ hour, 38+ min ago (614+ words) Simulating the mechanical and thermal properties of materials requires accurate treatment of interatomic interactions, yet quantum-mechanical methods can be computationally prohibitive for the time scales needed. Universal machine-learned interatomic potentials (MLIPs) offer a promising alternative, but their reliability for dynamics…...
