USPEX - Evolutionary crystal structure prediction
We approach the problem of computational crystal structure prediction, implementing an evolutionary algorithm—USPEX (Universal Structure Predictor: Evolutionary Xtallography). Starting from chemical composition we have tested USPEX on numerous systems (with up to 80 atoms in the unit cell) for which the stable structure is known and have observed a success rate of nearly 100%, simultaneously fi...
متن کاملConvergence Properties of Crystal Structure Prediction by Quasi-Random Sampling
Generating sets of trial structures that sample the configurational space of crystal packing possibilities is an essential step in the process of ab initio crystal structure prediction (CSP). One effective methodology for performing such a search relies on low-discrepancy, quasi-random sampling, and our implementation of such a search for molecular crystals is described in this paper. Herein we...
متن کاملPeriodic-Graph Approaches in Crystal Structure Prediction
The explosive growth in inorganic and organic materials chemistry has seen a great upsurge in the synthesis of crystalline materials with extended framework structures (zeolites, coordination polymers/coordination networks, metal–organic frameworks (MOFs), supramolecular architectures formed by hydrogen bonds and/or halogen bonds, etc.). There is a concomitant interest in simulating such materi...
متن کاملCrystal structure prediction via particle-swarm optimization
We have developed a method for crystal structure prediction from “scratch” through particle-swarm optimization PSO algorithm within the evolutionary scheme. PSO technique is different with the genetic algorithm and has apparently avoided the use of evolution operators e.g., crossover and mutation . The approach is based on an efficient global minimization of free-energy surfaces merging total-e...
