A machine-learned interatomic potential for silica and its relation to empirical models

Abstract Silica (SiO2) is an abundant material with a wide range of applications. Despite much progress, the atomistic modelling of the different forms of silica has remained a challenge. Here we show that by combining density-functional theory at the SCAN functional level with machine-learning-base...
