报告摘要

First-principles molecular dynamics based on Kohn-Sham density functional theory (DFT) has been an important simulation tool in investigating various properties of materials. Water is of the utmost importance for life and technology. However, a genuinely predictive ab initio model of water has eluded scientists. We model the hydrated water ions (hydronium and hydroxide) with corrections for nonlocal van der Waals interactions and self-interaction in the electronic ground state. We provide theoretical explanations to why hydronium diffuses faster than hydroxide, which has been a puzzle for over two centuries. In addition, we introduce our recent developed DFT package ABACUS that features numerical atomic orbitals. Finally, we briefly introduce our recent efforts in combing DFT with deep potential molecular dynamics.
