Machine learning potentials struggle to predict silica glass structure

Researchers have investigated the limitations of machine learning potentials in accurately predicting the medium-range order of silica glass. Using neutron and X-ray diffraction alongside molecular dynamics, they found that even models incorporating long-range interactions struggle to replicate the experimental amorphous structure after vitrification. Both short-range and long-range models exhibited excessive ordering and constrained network flexibility, indicating that current approaches are necessary but insufficient for predictive modeling of disordered silica.
