| contents | In the research of condensed matter, atomistic dynamic simulations play a crucial role, particularly in revealing dynamic processes, phase transitions and thermodynamic statistics macroscopic physical properties in systems such as solids and liquids. For a long time, simulating complex and disordered liquids has been a challenge compared to ordered crystalline structures. The primary reasons for this challenge are the lack of precise force field functions and the neglect of nuclear quantum effects. To overcome these two limits in simulation of liquids, we use a deep potential (DP) with quantum thermal bath (QTB) approach. DP is a machine learning model are sampled from density functional theory and able to do large-scale atomic simulations with its precision. QTB is a method which incorporates nuclear quantum effects by quantum fluctuation dissipation. The application of this first principles approach enable us to successfully describe the phase transition processes in solid and liquid Gallium (Ga) as well as the associated dynamic phenomena. More importantly, we obtain the thermodynamic properties of liquid Ga, such as internal energy, specific heat, enthalpy change, entropy and Gibbs free energy, and these results align remarkably well with experiments. Our research has opened up a new paradigm for the study of dynamics and thermodynamics in liquids, amorphous materials, and other disordered systems, providing valuable insights and references for future investigations. |
