I’m delighted to share our latest paper, just published in ACS Omega, entitled “First-Principles Simulation of Anharmonic and Anisotropic Vibrations of Glycinate on Copper” (with first author Alex Ievins and our collaborator @marcosacchi.bsky.social) #ChemSky #CompChemSky
First-Principles Simulation of Anharmonic and Anisotropic Vibrations of Glycinate on Copper
Molecular vibrations within a hydrogen-bonded network are expected to be significantly anharmonic and hence poorly described by conventional normal-mode analysis. Moreover, the rather flat potential energy landscapes experienced in such cases imply sampling of several local-energy minima, casting further doubt upon the standard methodology. Both difficulties may be overcome through first-principles molecular dynamics, used here to obtain vibrational spectra and thermal ellipsoids for glycinate adsorbed on copper. Vibrational anisotropy and signatures of hydrogen bonding are highlighted and discussed.

Alavi et al. found that the universal ANI-1ccx potential struggles with anharmonic vibrational frequencies due to CELU activation. They introduce ANI-1ccx-gelu, delivering near-DFT accuracy and adaptable fine-tuning, advancing machine learning for vibrational predictions pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10....

Matthias Heyden focuses on anharmonic low-frequency vibrations, which play a critical role in #molecular behavior but are often overlooked in harmonic models. His talk will show how sub-picosecond data can reveal key insights — and how data #streaming via #MDAnalysis makes it possible.
