abstract

We present a new and efficient method for computing the transition pathways, free energy barriers, and transition rates in complex systems with relatively smooth energy landscapes. The method proceeds by evolving strings, i.e. smooth curves with intrinsic parametrization whose dynamics takes them to the most probable transition path between two metastable regions in the configuration space. Free energy barriers and transition rates can then be determined by standard umbrella sampling technique around the string. Applications to Lennard-Jones cluster rearrangement and thermally induced switching of a magnetic film are presented.

Polaron Transport in TiO$_{2}$ from Machine Learning Molecular Dynamics

cond-mat.mtrl-sci · 2026-06-01 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

DeepPolaron ML-MD simulations show rutile electrons form Ti-localized polarons hopping along [001] with 39 meV barrier and 4.4e-2 cm2/Vs mobility, while anatase holes form O-localized polarons hopping to second neighbors with 139 meV barrier and 1.4e-3 cm2/Vs mobility.
