Understanding three-body contributions to coarse-grained force fields
Literature Information
Christoph Scherer, Denis Andrienko
Coarse-graining is a systematic reduction of the number of degrees of freedom used to describe a system of interest. Coarse-graining can be thought of as a projection on the coarse-grained degrees of freedom and is therefore dependent on the number and type of basis functions used to represent the coarse-grained force field. We show that many-body extensions of the coarse-grained force field can result in substantial changes of the two-body interactions, making them much more attractive at short distances. This interplay can be alleviated by first parametrizing the two-body potential and then fitting the additional three-body contribution to the residual forces. The approach is illustrated on liquid water where three-body interactions are essential to reproduce the structural properties, and liquid methanol where two-body interactions are sufficient to reproduce the main structural features of the atomistic system. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the structural and thermodynamic accuracy of the coarse-grained models can be controlled by varying the magnitude of the three-body interactions. Our findings motivate basis set extensions which separate the many-body contributions of different order.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
