Active Learning: Ru/H Part 5, Molecule-Gun MD

Finish the Ru/H case study by launching molecule-gun molecular dynamics with the initially trained model and running the active-learning loop for reactive surface chemistry. Run the earlier Ru/H parts first.

Load the optimized bulk Ru structure from the job collection

The lattice was optimized in the previous notebook, and the structure was stored in the job collection.

Let’s retrieve it from the job collection and use it to construct Ru surface slabs.

job_collection = ParAMSJob.load_external(load_model_dir).results.get_job_collection()
optimized_bulk = job_collection["hcp_lattopt_Ru_dft"].molecule
slab = slice_slab(
    optimized_bulk, miller=(1, 0, 0), thickness=7.0, cell_z=15, ref_atom=0
)
min_z = min(at.coords[2] for at in slab)
slab.translate((0, 0, -min_z + 2.0))
slab = slab.supercell(3, 2, 1)
plams.plot_molecule(slab, rotation=rotation)

    else:

h_atom.atoms[0].properties.region = "hydrogen"
main_system_name = ""  # must be empty string
projectile_name = "projectile"
molecules_dict = {main_system_name: slab, projectile_name: h_atom}

Set up the MD settings

Before starting the active learning, let’s set up a molecule gun simulation using the initially trained potential.

This is just to see that that simulation settings are somewhat reasonable.

s = Settings()
s.input.ams.Task = "MolecularDynamics"
md_s = s.input.ams.MolecularDynamics
md_s.NSteps = 5000  # will be increased later for active learning
md_s.Trajectory.SamplingFreq = 10  # for testing purposes to check the trajectory
md_s.InitialVelocities.Temperature = 100
md_s.Thermostat = [
    Settings(
        Region="thermostatted",
        Type="NHC",
        Temperature=[300],
        Tau=100.0,
    ),
    Settings(
        Region="very_cold",
        Type="NHC",
        Temperature=[2.0],
        Tau=10.0,
    ),
]
md_s.RemoveMolecules.Frequency = 1
md_s.RemoveMolecules.Formula = "*"
md_s.RemoveMolecules.SinkBox.FractionalCoordsBox = "0 1 0 1 0.90 0.99"
md_s.AddMolecules.System = projectile_name
md_s.AddMolecules.Frequency = 1000
md_s.AddMolecules.StartStep = 100
# insert H atoms 4.5 angstrom above the surface
max_z = max(at.coords[2] for at in slab)
projectile_insertion_z = (4.5 + max_z) / slab.lattice[2][2]
md_s.AddMolecules.FractionalCoordsBox = (
    f"0 1 0 1 {projectile_insertion_z} {projectile_insertion_z + 0.01}"
)
md_s.AddMolecules.VelocityDirection = (
    "0 0 -1"  # shoot down towards slab (decrease z coordinate)
)
md_s.AddMolecules.DeviationAngle = 0.0
md_s.AddMolecules.Velocity = 0.03
test_md_job = AMSJob(
    settings=s
    + ParAMSJob.load_external(load_model_dir).results.get_production_engine_settings(),
    molecule=molecules_dict,
    name="test_molecule_gun",
)
test_md_job.run();

Open the trajectory in AMSmovie to check if it is reasonable. We’d expect some combination of the following events:

  • H atoms adsorbing on the Ru surface

  • H atoms diffusing into the subsurface

  • H atoms desorbing from the Ru surface

  • H atoms combining into H2 molecules and desorbing from the surface

The simulation seems reasonable, so let’s couple it to the active learning with on-the-fly retraining.
