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 کاملHow evolutionary crystal structure prediction works--and why.
Once the crystal structure of a chemical substance is known, many properties can be predicted reliably and routinely. Therefore if researchers could predict the crystal structure of a material before it is synthesized, they could significantly accelerate the discovery of new materials. In addition, the ability to predict crystal structures at arbitrary conditions of pressure and temperature is ...
متن کاملTetrahedron-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 کاملEvolutionary Crystal Structure Prediction and Novel High-pressure Phases
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...
