ML SION1

ML_SION1 = [real]
Default: ML_SION1 = 0.5 

Description: This tag specifies the width $\sigma_\text{atom}$ of the Gaussian functions used for broadening the atomic distributions for the radial descriptor $\rho^{(2)}_i(r)$ within the machine learning force field method (see this section).

The unit of ML_SION1 is $\AA$.

Our test calculations indicate that ML_SION1 = ML_SION2 results in an optimal training performance. Furthermore, a value of 0.5 was found to be a good default value for both. However, the best choice is system-dependent, careful testing may improve machine learning results.
