Path integral simulations of confined parahydrogen molecules within clathrate hydrates: Merging low temperature dynamics with the zero-temperature limit
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Clathrate hydrates, or cages comprised solely of water molecules, have long been investigated as a clean storage facility for hydrogen molecules. A breakthrough occurred when hydrogen molecules were experimentally placed within a structure-II clathrate hydrate, which sparked much interest to determine their feasibility for energy storage [Mao et al., Science 297, 2247–2249 (2002)]. We use Path Integral Molecular Dynamics (PIMD) and Langevin equation Path Integral Ground State (LePIGS) for finite temperature and zero-temperature studies, respectively, to determine parahydrogen occupancy properties in the small dodecahedral (512) and large hexakaidecahedral (51264) sized cages that comprise the structure-II unit cell. We look at energetic and structural properties of small clusters of hydrogen, treated as point-like particles, confined within each of the different sized clathrates, and treated as rigid, to determine energetic and structural properties in the zero-temperature limit. Our predicted hydrogen occupancy within these two cage sizes is consistent with previous literature values. We then calculate the energies as a function of temperature and merge the low temperature results calculated using finite temperature PIMD with the zero-temperature results using LePIGS, demonstrating that the two methods are compatible.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
