List of all recipes

This section contains the list of all compiled recipes, including those that are not part of any of the other sections.

A ML model for the electron density of states
This tutorial would go through the entire machine learning framework for the electronic density of states (DOS). It will cover the construction of the DOS and SOAP descriptors from ase Atoms and eigenenergy results. A simple neural network will then be constructed and the model parameters, along with the energy reference will be optimized during training. A total of three energy reference will be used, the average Hartree potential, the Fermi level, and an optimized energy reference starting from the Fermi level energy reference. The performance of each model is then compared.

Atomistic Water Model for Molecular Dynamics
In this example, we demonstrate how to construct a metatensor atomistic model for flexible three and four-point water model, with parameters optimized for use together with quantum-nuclear-effects-aware path integral simulations (cf. Habershon et al., JCP (2009)). The model also demonstrates the use of torch-pme, a Torch library for long-range interactions, and uses the resulting model to perform demonstrative molecular dynamics simulations.

Batch run of CP2K calculations
This is an example how to perform single point calculations based on list of structures using CP2K using its reftraj functionality. The inputs are a set of structures in :download:`example.xyz` using the DFT parameters defined in :download:`reftraj_template.cp2k`. The reference DFT parameters are taken from Cheng et al. Ab initio thermodynamics of liquid and solid water 2019. Due to the small size of the test structure and convergence issues, we have decreased the size of the CUTOFF_RADIUS from 6.0\,\mathrm{Å} to 3.0\,\mathrm{Å}. For actual production calculations adapt the template!

Equivariant linear model for polarizability
In this example, we demonstrate how to construct a metatensor atomistic model for the polarizability tensor of molecular systems. This example uses the featomic library to compute equivariant descriptors, and scikit-learn to train a linear regression model. The model can then be used in an ASE calculator.

Generalized Convex Hull construction for the polymorphs of ROY
This notebook analyzes the structures of 264 polymorphs of ROY, from Beran et Al, Chemical Science (2022), comparing the conventional density-energy convex hull with a Generalized Convex Hull (GCH) analysis (see Anelli et al., Phys. Rev. Materials (2018)). It uses features computed with featomic and uses the directional convex hull function from scikit-matter to make the figure.

Multiple time stepping and ring-polymer contraction
This notebook provides an introduction to multiple time stepping and ring polymer contraction, two closely-related techniques, that are geared towards reducing the cost of calculations by separating slowly-varying (and computationally-expensive) components of the potential energy from the fast-varying (and hopefully cheaper) ones.

PCA/PCovR Visualization of a training dataset for a potential
This example uses featomic and metatensor to compute structural properties for the structures in a training dataset for a ML potential. These are then used with simple dimensionality reduction algorithms (implemented in sklearn and skmatter) to obtain a simplified description of the dataset, that is then visualized using chemiscope.

In this tutorial we generate descriptors using featomic, then select a subset of structures using both the farthest-point sampling (FPS) and CUR algorithms implemented in scikit-matter. Finally, we also generate a selection of the most important features using the same techniques.
