The increased energy and power density required in modern electronics poses a challenge for designing new dielectric polymer materials with high energy density while maintaining low loss at high applied electric fields. Recently, an advanced computational screening method coupled with hierarchical modelling has accelerated the identification of promising high energy density materials. It is well known that the dielectric response of polymeric materials is largely influenced by their phases and local heterogeneous structures as well as operational temperature. Such inputs are crucial to accelerate the design and discovery of potential polymer candidates. However, an efficient computational framework to probe temperature dependence of the dielectric properties of polymers, while incorporating effects controlled by their morphology is still lacking. In this paper, we propose a scalable computational framework based on reactive molecular dynamics with a valence-state aware polarizable charge model, which is capable of handling practically relevant polymer morphologies and simultaneously provide near-quantum accuracy in estimating dielectric properties of various polymer systems. We demonstrate the predictive power of our framework on high energy density polymer systems recently identified through rational experimental-theoretical co-design. Our scalable and automated framework may be used for high-throughput theoretical screenings of combinatorial large design space to identify next-generation high energy density polymer materials.
Three different polarizable ion models for molten AgBr have been studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The three models are based on a rigid ion model (RIM) with a pair potential of the type proposed by Vashishta and Rahman for alpha-AgI, to whi
Schwarzites are crystalline, 3D porous structures with stable negative curvature formed of sp2-hybridized carbon atoms. These structures present topologies with tunable porous size and shape and unusual mechanical properties. In this work, we have in
The study of chemical reactions in aqueous media is very important for its implications in several fields of science, from biology to industrial processes. Modelling these reactions is however difficult when water directly participates in the reactio

Two of the most successful methods that are presently available for simulating the quantum dynamics of condensed phase systems are centroid molecular dynamics (CMD) and ring polymer molecular dynamics (RPMD). Despite their conceptual differences, pra
