abstract = {We perform nanoindentation simulations for both the
prototypical face-centered cubic metal copper and the
body-centered cubic metal tungsten with an
adaptive-precision description of interaction potentials
including different accuracy and computational costs. We
combine both a computationally efficient embedded atom
method (EAM) potential and a precise but computationally
less efficient machine learning potential based on the
atomic cluster expansion (ACE) into an adaptive precision
(AP) potential tailored for the nanoindentation. The
numerically more expensive ACE potential is employed
selectively only in regions of the computational cell where
high precision is required. The comparison with pure EAM and
pure ACE simulations shows that for Cu, all potentials yield
similar dislocation morphologies under the indenter with
only small quantitative differences. In contrast, markedly
different plasticity mechanisms are observed for W in
simulations performed with the central-force EAM potential
compared to results obtained using the ACE potential. ACE is
able to describe accurately the angular character of
bonding, which is in W due to its half-filled 𝑑band. All
ACE-specific mechanisms are reproduced in the AP
nanoindentation simulations, however, with a significant
speedup of 20–30 times compared to the pure ACE
simulations. Hence, the AP potential overcomes the
performance gap between the precise ACE and the fast EAM
potential by combining the advantages of both potentials.},
