| Abstract Scope |
Grain boundary diffusion arises from localized atomic rearrangements near boundaries, but molecular dynamics(MD) becomes costly at long times because all atoms must be propagated. We develop a coordination-guided graph neural network(GNN) for a low-angle Al twist boundary. MD provided per-atom displacement and coordination number on the boundary plane. K-means clustering of mean absolute coordination-number change classified 43% of all atoms as active; these atoms became nodes in a radius graph, while weakly mobile atoms were kept as a frozen baseline. The GNN was trained as a one-step forecaster, using 1–2 ns active-atom features to predict 2–3 ns mean squared displacement and coordination evolution, then rolled forward through 5 ns. The one-step slope error was 2.02%, and the total rollout error was 3.05%. Forecasting via GNN required <1 s on a commodity GPU, while MD required 64 h for the same period, even on a 48-core CPU. Transferability remains future work. |
