MD Simulation of Water Using a Rigid Body Description Requires a Small Time Step to Ensure Equipartition
In simulations of aqueous systems, it is common to freeze the bond vibration and angle bending modes in water to allow for a longer time step δt for integrating the equations of motion. Thus, δt = 2 fs is often used in simulating rigid models of water. We simulate the SPC/E model of water using δt from 0.5 to 3.0 fs and up to 4 fs using hydrogen mass repartitioning. In these simulations, we find that for all but δt = 0.5 fs, equipartition is not obtained between translational and rotational modes, with the rotational modes exhibiting a lower temperature than the translation modes. To probe the reasons for the lack of equipartition, we study the autocorrelation of the translational velocity of the center of mass and the angular velocity of the rigid water molecule, respectively. Here, we find that the rotational relaxation occurs on a timescale comparable to vibrational periods, calling into question the original motivations for freezing the vibrations. Furthermore, a time step with δt ≥ 1 fs is not able to capture accurately the fast rotational relaxation, which reveals its impact as an effective slowing-down of rotational relaxation. The fluctuation–dissipation relation then leads to the conclusion that the rotational temperature should be cooler for δt greater than the reference value of 0.5 fs. Consideration of fluctuation–dissipation in equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations also emphasizes the need to capture the temporal evolution of fluctuations with fidelity and the role of δt in this regard. The time step also influences the solution thermodynamic properties: both the mean system potential energies and the excess entropy of hydration of a soft repulsive cavity are sensitive to δt.

Reduced-Cost Four-Component Relativistic Double Ionization Potential Equation-of-Motion Coupled-Cluster Approaches with 4-Hole–2-Particle Excitations and Three-Body Clusters
The double ionization potential (DIP) equation-ofmotion (EOM) coupled-cluster (CC) method with 4-hole−2- particle (4h-2p) excitations on top of the CC with singles, doubles, and triples calculation, abbreviated as DIP-EOMCCSDT(4h-2p), along with its perturbative DIP-EOMCCSD(T)(a)(4h-2p) approximation, are extended to a relativistic four-component (4c) framework. In addition, we introduce and test a new computationally practical DIP-EOMCC approach, which we call DIPEOMCCSD( T)(ã)(4h-2p), that approximates the treatment of 4h- 2p correlations within the DIP-EOMCCSD(T)(a)(4h-2p) method and reduces the $\mathcal{N}$ 8 scaling characterizing DIP-EOMCCSDT(4h- 2p) and DIP-EOMCCSD(T)(a)(4h-2p) to $\mathcal{N}$ 7 with the system size $\mathcal{N}$. Further improvements in computational efficiency are obtained using the frozen natural spinor (FNS) approximation to reduce the numbers of unoccupied spinors entering the correlated steps of the DIP-EOMCC calculations according to a well-defined occupation-number-based threshold. The resulting 4c-FNS-DIPEOMCC approaches are used to compute DIPs for the series of inert gas atoms from argon to radon as well as the vertical DIPs in Cl 2 , Br 2 , HBr, and HI, which have been experimentally examined in the past. We demonstrate that, when using complete basis set extrapolations and FNS truncation threshold of 10 −4.5 , the 4c-FNS-DIP-EOMCCSD(T)(ã)(4h-2p) calculations are capable of predicting DIPs in agreement with experimental data, improving upon their nonrelativistic and spin-free scalar-relativistic counterparts, particularly when examining DIPs characterized by stronger spin−orbit coupling effects.
Many-Body Benchmark of Electronic Charge and Spin Densities for Li 1–x NiO 2
Accurate benchmarks are particularly important for highly correlated oxides as mean-field approximations often fail to describe the subtle balance of charge transfer and magnetism in these materials with an accuracy comparable to experimental needs. Here we present accurate diffusion Monte Carlo (DMC) results of the electronic charge and spin densities for the tunable highly correlated oxide Li 1–x NiO 2 for x = 0, 1/2, and 1. To enable quantitative comparisons, we introduce a robust density-partitioning scheme, extending Voronoi analysis to assign atomic charges from spatially noisy DMC densities. We then benchmark common approximations used in density functional theory (DFT). Comparison against DMC shows that r 2 SCAN delivers the most balanced performance across charge, spin, and radial density descriptors, nearly reproducing DMC results for LiNiO 2 and apical Ni sites in Li 0.5 NiO 2 . Hybrid functionals (PBE0, SCAN0) perform unexpectedly poorly, and PBE + U + V yields inconsistent trends between charge and spin densities. Therefore, the r 2 SCAN functional minimizes errors relative to DMC while capturing the variable valence of the Ni ion and also retaining the computational efficiency of DFT for large-scale simulations of the tunable structural and electronic phases of Li1−xNiO2. Our study highlights the importance of accurate benchmarking of the fundamental quantities involved in DFT to select appropriate DFT approximations in order to advance the predictive modeling of charge-transfer-driven phenomena in correlated electron systems.
