A novel methodology for direct modeling
of long-time scale nonadiabatic
dynamics in extended nanoscale and solid-state systems is developed.
The presented approach enables forecasting the vibronic Hamiltonians
as a direct function of time via machine-learning models trained directly
in the time domain. The use of periodic and aperiodic functions that
transform time into effective input modes of the artificial neural
network is demonstrated to be essential for such an approach to work
for both abstract and atomistic models. The best strategies and possible
limitations pertaining to the new methodology are explored and discussed.
An exemplary direct simulation of unprecedentedly long 20 picosecond
trajectories is conducted for a divacancy-containing monolayer black
phosphorus system, and the importance of conducting such extended
simulations is demonstrated. New insights into the excited states
photophysics in this system are presented, including the role of decoherence
and model definition.
