Abstract
We describe the development of machine-learned (ML) potentials for flexible, weakly interacting monomers. A recently suggested permutationally invariant polynomial neural network (PIP-NN) approach is utilised to represent the full-dimensional two-body component of the molecular pair energy. To ensure the asymptotic zero-interaction limit, a tailored subset of the full invariant polynomial basis set is utilised, and their variables are modified to achieve a better fit of the correct asymptotic behaviour at a long range. This new technique is used to build full-dimensional potentials for the two-body N 2 –Ar and N 2 –CH 4 interactions by fitting databases of ab initio energies calculated at the coupled-cluster level of theory. The second virial coefficient, fully accounting for molecular flexibility, is then calculated within the classical framework using the obtained PIP-NN potential surfaces. A trajectory-based simulation of the N 2 –Ar collision-induced absorption is conducted, covering both the far- and mid-infrared ranges.
