Tetrahedron-tiling method for crystal structure prediction
Reliable and robust methods of predicting the crystal structure of a compound, based only on its chemical composition, is crucial to the study of materials and their applications. Despite considerable ongoing research efforts, crystal structure prediction remains a challenging problem that demands large computational resources. Here we propose an efficient approach for first-principles crystal ...
متن کاملCrystal structure prediction using the minima hopping method.
A structure prediction method is presented based on the minima hopping method. To escape local minima, moves on the configurational enthalpy surface are performed by variable cell shape molecular dynamics. To optimize the escape steps the initial atomic and cell velocities are aligned to low curvature directions of the current local minimum. The method is applied to both silicon crystals and we...
متن کاملUSPEX - 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 کاملStochastic surface walking method for crystal structure and phase transition pathway prediction.
The determination of crystal structures and the solid-to-solid phase transition mechanisms are two important and related subjects in material science. Here we develop an unbiased general-purpose potential energy surface (PES) searching method, namely, SSW-crystal method, for prediction of both the crystal structure and the crystal phase transition pathway. The SSW-crystal method features with s...
متن کاملEvolutionary Crystal Structure Prediction as a Method for the Discovery of Minerals and Materials
Prediction of stable crystal structures at given pressure-temperature conditions, based only on the knowledge of the chemical composition, is a central problem of condensed matter physics. This extremely challenging problem is often termed “crystal structure prediction problem,” and recently developed evolutionary algorithm USPEX (Universal Structure Predictor: Evolutionary Xtallography) made a...
