Abstract
In this work,the local structure and transport properties of three typical alkali chlorides(LiCl,NaCl,and KCl)were investigated by our newly trained deep potentials(DPs).We extracted datasets from ab initio molecular dynamics(AIMD)calculations and used these to train and validate the DPs.Large-scale and long-time molecular dynamics simulations were performed over a wider range of temperatures than AIMD to confirm the reliability and generality of the DPs.We demonstrated that the generated DPs can serve as a powerful tool for simulating alkali chlorides;the DPs also provide results with accuracy that is comparable to that of AIMD and efficiency that is similar to that of empirical potentials.The partial radial distribution functions and angle distribution functions predicted using the DPs are in close agreement with those derived from AIMD.The estimated densities,self-diffusion coefficients,shear viscosities,and electrical conductivities also matched well with the AIMD and experimental data.This work provides confidence that DPs can be used to explore other systems,including mixtures of chlorides or entirely different salts.
