General purpose Gaussian approximation potential for P with Hirshfeld volumes for vdW corrections

This is a Gaussian approximation potential (GAP [1]) for phosphorus. The potential can be used to model general phosphorus systems, including the various solid phases as well as molecular and polymeric fluids. It has been fitted with gap_fit [2] by recomputing the database of Ref. [3] at the PBE level of theory [4] using the VASP code [5,6]. The potential allows for adding van der Waals (vdW) corrections at the Tkatchenko-Scheffler (TS) [7] and many-body-dispersion (MBD) [8] levels via machine learning based local parametrization of dispersion interactions [9] and the linear-scaling MBD (lMBD) approximation [10], respectively. For the underlying PBE fit, this potential uses 2-body (distance_2b) and SOAP-type descriptors (soap_turbo) [11,12], as implemented in the TurboGAP code [13]. For the Hirshfeld volume fit, the potential reuses the soap_turbo descriptors for computational efficiency. The files can be used both with QUIP/GAP (without vdW-correction support) and TurboGAP (with full functionality). The reference for the implementation paper will be added here later.
