This paper combines DeePMD-based molecular-dynamics sampling and DeePTB electronic-structure models for finite-temperature optical calculations. Electronic information from smaller hybrid-functional (HSE) calculations is used to train a model that evaluates larger atomic configurations, including supercells up to 4,096 atoms. The authors compare phonon-assisted optical absorption and temperature-dependent bandgap renormalization for Si, GaAs and GaP with experimental findings, while discussing the limitations of the finite-temperature sampling and local approximations.

Background on the underlying DeePTB method.
