An Absorbing State Model with an Emergent Ising Transition

We study a dynamical model of repulsive needles with centers fixed on a square lattice. Needles that overlap are active and receive a repulsive rotation $ θ\in [0,ε)$; needles with no overlap do not move. This model exhibits an absorbing state transition. Nematic order was observed for long needles. For a range of needle lengths and $ε$, the system self-organizes into a state with checkerboard symmetry. As $ε$ is increased, this phase melts and becomes disordered. Remarkably, we find that this phase boundary exhibits critical exponents identical to those of the equilibrium 2D Ising model.

MolCryst-MLIPs: A Machine-Learned Interatomic Potentials Database for Molecular Crystals

We present an open Molecular Crystal (MC) database of Machine-Learned Interatomic Potentials (MLIP) called MolCryst-MLIPs. The first release comprises fine-tuned MACE models for nine molecular crystal systems---Benzamide, Benzoic acid, Coumarin, Durene, Isonicotinamide, Nicotinic acid , Niacinamide, Pyrazinamide, and Resorcinol---developed using the Automated Machine Learning Pipeline (AMLP), which streamlines the entire MLIP development workflow, from reference data generation to model training and validation, into a reproducible and user-friendly pipeline. Models are fine-tuned from the MACE-MH-1 foundation model omol head), yielding a mean energy MAE of 0.141 kJ/mol/atom and a mean force MAE of 0.648 kJ/mol/Angstrom across all systems. Benchmarked against three state-of-the-art foundation models on the DFT-labelled polymorph set, only the fine-tuned models resolve the polymorphic energy landscape. Dynamical stability and structural integrity, as assessed through energy conservation, P2 orientational order parameters, and radial distribution functions, are evaluated using molecular dynamics simulations. The released models and datasets constitute a growing open database of validated MLIPs, ready for production MD simulations of molecular crystal polymorphism across the polymorphic landscape of each target compound under different thermodynamic conditions.
