Benchmarking machine-learning interatomic potentials using classical force fields

Johannes Sandberg, Geneviève Dusson, Julien Lam

We propose a rational comparison between several well-known machine-learning interatomic potentials (linear atomic cluster expansion, the Behler-Parrinello high-dimensional neural…

Harvesting nucleating structures in nanoparticle crystallization: The example of gold, silver and iron

Arthur France-Lanord, Sarath Menon, Julien Lam

The thermodynamics and kinetics of crystallization of nanoparticles, as opposed to bulk phases, may be influenced by surface and size effects. We investigate the importance of such…
