X Is there a finite atoms range atomic energy function ij that gives the "(R 1 R i,r 2 R i,...)+ 1 2 correct total i energy and forces? ij X Finite range atomic energy function 1 ˆL i ˆLj + R ij R ij 6 ˆL i = q i + p i i +...

13 Traditional ideas for functional forms Pair potentials: Lennard-Jones, RDF-derived, etc. Three-body terms: Stillinger-Weber, MEAM, etc. " i = 1 2 X j V 2 ( r ij ) Embedded Atom (no angular dependence) Bond Order Potential (BOP) Tight-binding-derived attractive term with pair-potential repulsion ReaxFF: kitchen-sink + hundreds of parameters " i = P j ( r ij ) Representation is implicit These are NOT THE CORRECT functions. Limited accuracy, not systematic given by GOAL: potentials based on quantum mechanics

14 Representing the atomic neighbourhood in strongly bound materials What are the arguments of the atomic energy ε? Need a representation, i.e. a coordinate transformation - Exact symmetries: Global Translation Global Rotation Reflection Permutation of atoms - Faithful: different configurations correspond to different representations - Continuous, differentiable, and smooth (i.e. slowly changing with atomic position) ( Lipschitz diffeomorphic ) r4 r3 r2 r1 Rotational invariance by itself is easy: q Rij = ri rj (Weyl) - Complete, but not invariant permutationally - Not continuous with changing number of neighbours

15 Matrix of interatomic distances Equivalent to Weyl matrix 2 r 1 r 1 r 1 r 2 r 1 r N r 2 r 1 r 2 r 2 r 2 r N r N r 1 r N r 2 r N r N Rotationally invariant: no alignment needed Permutation problem: Weyl matrix is not permutation invariant

16 Drop atom ordering? Permutation: too costly for ~ 20 neighbours Unordered list of distances? Distance histograms? Not unique!

17 Atomic neighbour density function "(r 1 r i, r 2 r i,...) "[ i (r)] i (r) =s (r)+ j (r r ij )f cut ( r ij ) (r,, ) = n=1 l=0 l m= l c m l,ng n (r)y m l (, ) Translation Permutation Need rotationally invariant features of ρ(r)

18 Rotational Invariance Transformation of coefficients: Wigner matrices are unitary: Construct invariants: D 1 = D Equivalent to Steinhardt bond order Q 2, Q 4, Q 6 parameters Higher order invariants possible, (generalisation of Steinhardt W)

19 First few terms of power spectrum for 3 atoms Polynomials of Weyl invariants Highly oscillatory for large l : not smooth Different l channels uncoupled

20 Uniqueness: environment reconstruction tests 1. Select target configuration 2. Randomise neighbours 3. Try to reconstruct target by matching descriptors RMSD Error in distinguishing Number of neighbours

21 Construct smooth similarity kernel directly Overlap integral Z S( i, i 0)= i (r) i 0(r)dr, Integrate over all 3D rotations: Z k( i, i 0)= S( i, ˆR i 0) 2 d ˆR = Z d ˆR cutoff: compact support Z i (r) i 0( ˆRr)dr 2 After LOTS of algebra: X SOAP kernel k( i, i 0)= n,n 0,l p (i) nn 0 l p(i0 ) nn 0 l nl p nn 0 l = c nl c n 0 l

22 Smooth Overlap of Atomic Positions (SOAP) Error in distinguishing RMSD Average d REF l max= 2 l max= 4 l max= 6 SOAP n Number of neighbours

23 Stability of fit: elastic constants of Si Order of angular momentum expansion

24 How to generate databases? Target applications: large systems Capability of full quantum mechanics (QM): small systems QM MD on representative small systems: sheared primitive cell elasticity large unit cell phonons surface unit cells surface energy gamma surfaces screw dislocation vacancy in small cell vacancy gamma surface vacancy near dislocation Iterative refinement 1.
