Improving Simulations of Aqueous Systems through Experimental Bias

Description
Summary:In order to enhance the ab initio molecular dynamics treatment of aqueous systems, the Boltzmann inversion directed simulation method was developed that derives a corrective bias to the system pairwise potential using experimental data. The bias acts as an empirical correction that enables routine-level simulation of density functional theory water to achieve comparable liquid structure to experiment at ambient temperature without significantly increasing computational cost.
