  3. Motivation: Design Materials, Catalysts, Pharma from 1st Principles so can do design prior to experiment time ELECTRONS ATOMS GRAINS GRIDS simulations real devices and full cell (systems biology) hours millisec nanosec picosec femtosec Continuum (FEM) Micromechanical modeling Protein clusters MESO MD Deformation and Failure Protein Structure and Function QM distance Å nm micron mm yards To connect 1st Principles (QM) to Macro work use an overlapping hierarchy of methods (paradigms) Need accurate force fields (potentials) with parameters derived fromfirst-principles QM Big breakthrough making FC simulations practical: reactive force fields based on QM Describes: chemistry,charge transfer, etc. For metals, oxides, organics. Accurate calculations for bulk phases and molecules(EOS, bond dissociation) Chemical Reactions (P-450 oxidation)

  4. r E = kA(A-A0) A E = kr(r-r0) Ordinary Force Fields Bonds, angles, torsions described as elastic springs Fixed charges, Empirical vdw nonbond terms, Bonds cannot be broken, making the model unsuitable for modeling reactions. Examples: MM3, Dreiding, Amber, Charmm, Gromos, UFF ReaxFF: Allow bonds to break and form and describe barriers for reactions. All parameters from quantum mechanics, no empirical data

  5. First Principles Reactive force fields: strategy • Describe Chemistry (i.e., reactions)of molecules • Fit QM Bond dissociation curves for breaking every type of bond • (XnA-BYm), (XnA=BYm), (XnA≡BYm) • Fit angle bending and torsional potentials from QM • Fit QM Surfaces for Chemical reactions (uni- and bi-molecular) • Fit Ab initio charges and polarizabilities of molecules • Pauli Principle: Fit to QM for all coordinations (2,4,6,8,12) • Metals: fcc, hcp, bcc, a15, sc, diamond • Defects (vacancies, dislocations, surfaces) • cover high pressure(to 50% compression or 500GPa) • Generic: use same parameters for all systems(same O in O3, SiO2, H2CO, HbO2, BaTiO3) Require that One FF reproduces all the ab-initio data (ReaxFF) Most theorists (including me) thought that this would not be possible, but we claim to have achieved and validated it for many systems

  6. Many Chemical processes: bond breaking for 5000millions atoms. This is far too large for DFT Solution: ReaxFF first principles reactive force field short distance Pauli Repulsion + long range dispersion (pairwise Morse function) Valence energy Electrostatic energy • Based completely on First Principles QM (no empirical parameters) • Valence Terms (EVal) based on Bond Order: dissociates smoothly • Bond distance  Bond order  Bond energy • Forces depend only on geometry (no assigned bond types) • Allows angle, torsion, and inversion terms (where needed) • Describes resonance(benzene, allyl) • Describes forbidden(2s + 2s)and allowed(Diels-Alder)reactions • Atomic Valence Term(sum of Bond Orders gives valency) • Pair-wiseNonbond Terms between all atoms (no “bond” exclusions) • Short range Pauli Repulsion plus Dispersion(EvdW) • QEq Electrostatics allows charges to flow depending on environment and external fields

  7. ReaxFF reactive force field for Reactive Dynamics (RD) Adri van Duin Allow bonds to break and form, describe barriers for reactions. All parameters from quantum mechanics (no empirical data) ReaxFF describes reactive processes (from oxidation to combustion to catalysis to shock induced chemistry)for 1000s to millions atoms We use ReaxFF to prepare the structures of complex heterogeneous systems by processes similar to experimental synthesis (DLC, SiO2/Si)

  8. Sigma Bond 1.5Å - 2.3Å First Pi Bond 1.2Å - 1.75Å Second Pi Bond 1.0Å - 1.4Å Bond Order Dependent Potentials

  9. Bond Order Dependence on r (CC)   s

  10. Bond distance bond order C-C bond   Bond order s Bond distance (Å) Bond order bond energy Bond distance bond order bond energy Use general functional form. Determine parameters from fitting QM bond breaking for many single, double, and triple bonded systems. Bond distance (Å)

  11. Van der Waals Include vdW for 1-2 and 1-3 interactions since bonded atoms may dissociate and nonbonded atoms may bond during the dynamics We use a Morse function rather than LJ12-6 (which is too stiff in the inner wall region Or exponential-6 which has problems for small R Here f7 was introduced to modify interactions for small R This was a mistake and should be eliminated

  12. vdW Energy

  13. Coulomb interacions Electronegativity Hardness Include Coulomb for 1-2 and 1-3 interactions since bonded atoms may dissociate and nonbonded atoms may bond during the dynamics This f7 function provides shielding so that the Coulomb potential goes to a constant, Cqiqj gw at small R, where gw is related to the size of the atoms. ReaxFF uses the Electron Equilibration Method (EEM) of Mortier to determine charges rather than rather than QEq Mortier, W. J.; Ghosh, S. K.; Shankar, S. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 1986,108, 4315; Janssens, G. O. A.; Baekelandt, B. G.; Toufar, H.; Mortier, W. J.;Schoonheydt, R. A. J. Phys. Chem. 1995, 99, 3251.

  14. Discussion about charges in ReaxFF I believe that the use of a shielding denominator in the Coulomb energy and the use of EEM in ReaxFF are inconsistent and a fundamental mistake. We should use QEq. In QEq the shielding of charges on different centers is built in both in calculating the Coulomb energy and in calculating the charges. Separating them leads to potential problems for small R, where the charges may be affected by the 1/R form in the potential. In QEq this shielding is based on the covalent radius of the atom and hence need not be optimized.

  15. Charge Equilibration (QEq) Charge Equilibration for Molecular Dynamics Simulations A. K. Rappé and W. A. Goddard III J. Phys. Chem. 95, 3358 (1991) I atomic interactions Keeping: Jij Hardness (IP-EA) Electronegativity (IP+EA)/2 1/rij rij ri0 +rj0 • Self-consistent Charge Equilibration (QEq) • Describe charges as distributed (Gaussian) • Thus charges on adjacent atoms shielded • (interactions  constant as R0) and include interactions over ALL atoms, even if bonded (no exclusions) • Allow charge transfer (QEq method) 2 Three universal parameters for each element: 1991: use experimental IP, EA, Ri; ReaxFF get from fitting QM

  16. Experiment Mol. Eb re C2H6 90.4 - 1.533 C3H8 85.8 - 1.526 C4H10 86.5 - 1.532 CC Bond Dissociation Energy In ReaxFF the BO-BE term is monotonic and attractive, becoming a constant at small R This is balance by the vdW term which is large and repulsive at small R To finally give the normal bonding function.

  17. Deviation of bond orders from saturation Over-coordination Coordination

  21. Eangle

  22. Torsion • V2 diminishes rapidly when central bond deviates from BO=2 • Sin terms ensure this terms goes to 0 when the angles approach 180 • f4 accounts for over-coordinated central C-C atoms • f3 allows for proper dissociation behavior

  38. Key features of ReaxFF • To get a smooth transition from nonbonded to single, double and triple bonded systems ReaxFF employs a bond length/bond order relationship1,2. Bond orders are updated every iteration. • Nonbonded interactions (van der Waals, Coulomb) are calculated between every atom pair, irrespective of connectivity. Excessive close-range nonbonded interactions are avoided by shielding. • All connectivity-dependent interactions (i.e. valence and torsion angles) are made bond-order dependent, ensuring that their energy contributions disappear upon bond dissociation. • ReaxFF uses a geometry-dependent charge calculation scheme (EEM) that accounts for polarization effects. 1:Tersoff, PRB 1988;2: Brenner PRB 1990

  39. General rules ReaxFF MD-force field; no discontinuities in energy or forces even during reactions. User does not pre-define reactive sites or reaction pathways; ReaxFF automatically handles coordination changes associated with reactions. Each element is represented by only 1 atom type in the force field; force field determine equilibrium bond lengths, valence angles etc. from chemical environment.

  40. ReaxFF uses generic rules for all parameters and functional forms ReaxFF automatically handles coordination changes and oxidation states associated with reactions, thus no discontinuities in energy or forces. User does not pre-define reactive sites or reaction pathways (ReaxFF figures it out as the reaction proceeds) Each element leads to only 1 atom type in the force field. (same O in O3, SiO2, H2CO, HbO2, BaTiO3)(we do not pre-designate the CO bond in H2CO as double and the CO bond in H3COH as single or in CO as triple, ReaxFF figures this out) ReaxFF determines equilibrium bond lengths, angles, and charges solely from the chemical environment. Require that One FF reproduces all the ab-initio data (ReaxFF) Most theorists (including me) thought that this would be impossible, hence it would never have been funded by NSF, DOE, or NIH since it was far too risky. (DARPA came through, then ONR, then ARO).
