研究目的
To present a machine learning–based multiscale method for the simulation of charge transport within molecular semiconductors, focusing on the prediction of the electronic transfer integrals describing the charge hopping within the Marcus theory.
研究成果
The presented machine learning–based multiscale approach allows for a rapid prediction of the charge mobility without the need for recomputing all transfer integrals for each new configuration. The method provides a promising alternative to existing computational studies of charge transport within disordered organic semiconductors.
研究不足
The study focuses on rigid molecules and neglects intramolecular vibrations. The ML model requires a large training set for higher disorders, and the computational demand for ab initio calculations is high.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The methodology combines molecular dynamics (MD), electronic structure calculations, machine learning (ML), and kinetic Monte Carlo (kMC) simulations.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Pentacene dimers obtained from MD simulations are used to compute charge transfer integrals using quantum chemical simulations.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The software Tinker for MD simulations, pDynamo for quantum chemical calculations, and Scikit-learn for ML implementation.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
MD snapshots are used to build a Voronoi tessellation within the kMC tool. The ML algorithm predicts the transfer integral for each set of next neighbors and passes it to the kMC model.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The prediction accuracy of the ML algorithm is evaluated using mean absolute error (MAE).
