Evolutionary crystal structure prediction as a tool in materials design.
Ab initio methods allow a more or less straightforward prediction of numerous physical properties of solids, but require the knowledge of their crystal structure. The evolutionary algorithm USPEX, developed by us in 2004-2006, enables reliable prediction of the stable crystal structure without relying on any experimental data. Numerous tests (mostly for systems with up to 28 atoms in the unit c...
متن کاملStructure prediction and its applications in computational materials design
Structure is the most fundamental characteristics of a material. X-ray crystallography allows one to determine how atoms are arranged in a molecule and how molecules pack into a crystal. However, it requires a high-quality crystal sample, which is time consuming to prepare and often impossible under extreme conditions. Theory has been playing a significant role in understanding crystal structur...
متن کاملAdvanced Computational Techniques for Materials-by-design
Modeling of uncertainty propagation in multi-scale models of deformation is extremely complex considering the nonlinear coupled phenomena that need to be accounted for. The ongoing work addresses key mathematical and computational issues related to robust control of deformation processes. Our research accomplishments for this year include development of new mathematical models based on spectral...
متن کاملCombined electronic structure and evolutionary search approach to materials design.
We show that density functional theory calculations have reached an accuracy and speed making it possible to use them in conjunction with an evolutionary algorithm to search for materials with specific properties. The approach is illustrated by finding the most stable four component alloys out of the 192 016 possible fcc and bcc alloys that can be constructed out of 32 different metals. A numbe...
متن کاملComputational RNA Structure Prediction
The view of RNA as simple information transfer molecule has been continuously challenged since the discovery of ribozymes, a class of RNA molecules with enzyme-like function. Moreover, the recent discovery of tiny RNA molecules such as RNAs and small interfering RNA, is transforming our thinking about how gene expression is regulated. Thus, RNA molecules are now known to carry a large repertory...
