Correction: "On-the-fly" coupled cluster path-integral molecular dynamics: impact of nuclear quantum effects on the protonated water dimer.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an accelerated ab initio path-integral molecular dynamics technique, where the interatomic forces are calculated "on-the-fly" by accurate coupled cluster electronic structure calculations. In this way not only dynamic electron correlation, but also the harmonic and anharmonic zero-point energy, as well as tunneling effects are explicitly taken into account. This method thus allows for very precise finite temperature quantum molecular dynamics simulations. The predictive power of this novel approach is illustrated on the example of the protonated water dimer, where the impact of nuclear quantum effects on its structure and the (1)H magnetic shielding tensor are discussed in detail.

Ab initio molecular dynamics with nuclear quantum effects at classical cost: Ring polymer contraction for density functional theory.
Path integral molecular dynamics simulations, combined with an ab initio evaluation of interactions using electronic structure theory, incorporate the quantum mechanical nature of both the electrons and nuclei, which are essential to accurately describe systems containing light nuclei. However, path integral simulations have traditionally required a computational cost around two orders of magni...

متن کاملQuantum nature of the hydrogen bond
Hydrogen bonds are weak, generally intermolecular bonds, which hold much of soft matter together as well as the condensed phases of water, network liquids, and many ferroelectric crystals. The small mass of hydrogen means that they are inherently quantum mechanical in nature, and effects such as zero-point motion and tunneling must be considered, though all too often these effects are not consi...
متن کاملi-PI: A Python interface for ab initio path integral molecular dynamics simulations
Recent developments in path integral methodology have significantly reduced the computational expense of including quantum mechanical effects in the nuclear motion in ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. However, the implementation of these developments requires a considerable programming effort, which has hindered their adoption. Here we describe i-PI, an interface written in Python that ...
متن کاملCombined QM/MM and path integral simulations of kinetic isotope effects in the proton transfer reaction between nitroethane and acetate ion in water
An integrated Feynman path integral-free energy perturbation and umbrella sampling (PI-FEP/UM) method has been used to investigate the kinetic isotope effects (KIEs) in the proton transfer reaction between nitroethane and acetate ion in water. In the present study, both nuclear and electronic quantum effects are explicitly treated for the reacting system. The nuclear quantum effects are represe...
