Energy-correction method is proposed as an addition to mainstream integrators for equations of motion of systems of classical spins. This solves the problem of non-conservation of energy in long computations and makes mainstream integrators competitive with symplectic integrators for spin systems that for different-site interactions conserve the energy explicitly. The proposed method is promising for spin systems with single-site interactions for which symplectic integrators do not conserve energy and thus have no edge against mainstream integrators. From the energy balance in the spin system with a phenomenological damping and Langevin fields, a formula for the dynamical spin temperature in the presence of single-site anisotropy is obtained.

Nuclear dynamics of mass asymmetric systems at balance energy.
Classical density-functional theory provides an efficient alternative to molecular dynamics simulations for understanding the equilibrium properties of inhomogeneous fluids. However, application of density-functional theory to multi-site molecular fluids has so far been limited by complications due to the implicit molecular geometry constraints on the site densities, whose resolution typically requires expensive Monte Carlo methods. Here, we present a general scheme of circumventing this so-called inversion problem: compressed representations of the orientation density. This approach allows us to combine the superior iterative convergence properties of multipole representations of the fluid configuration with the improved accuracy of site-density functionals. Next, from a computational perspective, we show how to extend the DFT++ algebraic formulation of electronic density-functional theory to the classical fluid case and present a basis-independent discretization of our formulation for molecular classical density-functional theory. Finally, armed with the above general framework, we construct a simplified free-energy functional for water which captures the radial distributions, cavitation energies, and the linear and non-linear dielectric response of liquid water. The resulting approach will enable efficient and reliable first-principles studies of atomic-scale processes in contact with solution or other liquid environments.
Machine learning models are changing the paradigm of molecular modeling, which is a fundamental tool for material science, chemistry, and computational biology. Of particular interest is the inter-atomic potential energy surface (PES). Here we develop Deep Potential - Smooth Edition (DeepPot-SE), an end-to-end machine learning-based PES model, which is able to efficiently represent the PES for a wide variety of systems with the accuracy of ab initio quantum mechanics models. By construction, DeepPot-SE is extensive and continuously differentiable, scales linearly with system size, and preserves all the natural symmetries of the system. Further, we show that DeepPot-SE describes finite and extended systems including organic molecules, metals, semiconductors, and insulators with high fidelity.
We review recent studies of spin dynamics in rare-earth orthorhombic perovskite oxides of the type $RM$O$_3$, where $R$ is a rare-earth ion and $M$ is a transition-metal ion, using single-crystal inelastic neutron scattering (INS). After a short introduction to the magnetic INS technique in general, the results of INS experiments on both transition-metal and rare-earth subsystems for four selected compounds (YbFeO$_3$, TmFeO$_3$, YFeO$_3$, YbAlO$_3$) are presented. We show that the spectrum of magnetic excitations consists of two types of collective modes that are well separated in energy: gapped magnons with a typical bandwidth of $<$70 meV, associated with the antiferromagnetically (AFM) ordered transition-metal subsystem, and AFM fluctuations of $<$5 meV within the rare-earth subsystem, with no hybridization of those modes. We discuss the high-energy conventional magnon excitations of the 3$d$ subsystem only briefly, and focus in more detail on the spectacular dynamics of the rare-earth sublattice in these materials. We observe that the nature of the ground state and the low-energy excitation strongly depends on the identity of the rare-earth ion. In the case of non-Kramers ions, the low-symmetry crystal field completely eliminates the degeneracy of the multiplet state, creating a rich magnetic field-temperature phase diagram. In the case of Kramers ions, the resulting ground state is at least a doublet, which can be viewed as an effective quantum spin-1/2. Equally important is the fact that in Yb-based materials the nearest-neighbor exchange interaction dominates in one direction, despite the three-dimensional nature of the orthoperovskite crystal structure. The observation of a fractional spinon continuum and quantum criticality in YbAlO$_3$ demonstrates that Kramers rare-earth based magnets can provide realizations of various aspects of quantum low-dimensional physics.
Recent path-integral Monte Carlo and quantum molecular dynamics simulations have shown that computationally efficient average-atom models can predict thermodynamic states in warm dense matter to within a few percent. One such atom-in-jellium model has typically been used to predict the electron-thermal behavior only, although it was previously developed to predict the entire equation of state (EOS). We report completely atom-in-jellium EOS calculations for Be, Al, Si, Fe, and Mo, as elements representative of a range of atomic number and low-pressure electronic structure. Comparing the more recent method of pseudo-atom molecular dynamics, atom-in-jellium results were similar: sometimes less accurate, sometimes more. All these techniques exhibited pronounced effects of electronic shell structure in the shock Hugoniot which are not captured by Thomas-Fermi based EOS. These results demonstrate the value of a hierarchical approach to EOS construction, using average-atom techniques with shell structure to populate a wide-range EOS surface efficiently, complemented by more rigorous 3D multi-atom calculations to validate and adjust the EOS.
