Abstract

En 中文
Accurate force fields are necessary for predictive molecular simulations. However, developing force fields that accurately reproduce experimental properties is challenging. Here, we present a machine learning directed, multiobjective optimization workflow for force field parametrization that evaluates millions of prospective force field parameter sets while requiring only a small fraction of them to be tested with molecular simulations. We demonstrate the generality of the approach and identify multiple low-error parameter sets for two distinct test cases: simulations of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) and an ammonium perchlorate (AP) crystal phase. We discuss the challenges and implications of our force field optimization workflow.
