Automated optimization of convergence parameters in plane wave density functional theory calculations via a tensor decomposition-based uncertainty quantification
arXiv (Cornell University)(2021)
摘要
First principles approaches have revolutionized our ability in using computers to predict, explore and design materials. A major advantage commonly associated with these approaches is that they are fully parameter free. However, numerically solving the underlying equations requires to choose a set of convergence parameters. With the advent of high-throughput calculations it becomes exceedingly important to achieve a truly parameter free approach. Utilizing uncertainty quantification (UQ) and tensor decomposition we derive a numerically highly efficient representation of the statistical and systematic error in the multidimensional space of the convergence parameters. Based on this formalism we implement a fully automated approach that requires as input the target accuracy rather than convergence parameters. The performance and robustness of the approach are shown by applying it to a large set of elements crystallizing in a cubic fcc lattice.
