Abstract Scope |
A primary challenge associated with atomistic calculations is that the choice of interatomic potential can result in substantially, even qualitatively, different predictions for basic properties. Appropriately selecting a potential for a particular investigation requires knowing how all available potentials predict properties relevant to that use case. The NIST Interatomic Potentials Repository has worked towards addressing this by developing a high throughput framework allowing for calculations to be performed across hosted interatomic potentials and the results compiled into a database. The calculation framework also provides a means of changing this issue into a research asset as running simulations across different potentials allows for more possible mechanisms to be explored, and for relationships between properties to be observed. A particular focus of the project is working towards making the data, tools, and property calculation methods consistent with FAIR and open practices. |
