Crystal Structure Prediction for Benzene Using Basin-Hopping Global Optimization

Journal Article Banerjee, Atreyee ; Jasrasaria, Dipti ; Niblett, Samuel P. ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry. A, Molecules, Spectroscopy, Kinetics, Environment, and General Theory

Organic molecules can be stable in distinct crystalline forms, known as polymorphs, which have significant consequences for industrial applications. Here, we predict the polymorphs of crystalline benzene computationally for an accurate anisotropic model parametrized to reproduce electronic structure calculations. We adapt the basin-hopping global optimization procedure to the case of crystalline unit cells, simultaneously optimizing the molecular coordinates and unit cell parameters to locate multiple low-energy structures from a variety of crystal space groups. We rapidly locate all the well-established experimental polymorphs of benzene, each of which corresponds to a single local energy minimum of the model. Our results showmore »« less

Communication: Optimal parameters for basin-hopping global optimization based on Tsallis statistics

Journal Article Shang, C., E-mail: cs778@cam.ac.uk ; Wales, D. J., E-mail: dw34@cam.ac.uk - Journal of Chemical Physics

A fundamental problem associated with global optimization is the large free energy barrier for the corresponding solid-solid phase transitions for systems with multi-funnel energy landscapes. To address this issue we consider the Tsallis weight instead of the Boltzmann weight to define the acceptance ratio for basin-hopping global optimization. Benchmarks for atomic clusters show that using the optimal Tsallis weight can improve the efficiency by roughly a factor of two. We present a theory that connects the optimal parameters for the Tsallis weighting, and demonstrate that the predictions are verified for each of the test cases.

A fast and Robust Algorithm for general inequality/equality constrained minimum time problems

Technical Report Briessen, B ; Sadegh, N

This paper presents a new algorithm for solving general inequality/equality constrained minimum time problems. The algorithm`s solution time is linear in the number of Runge-Kutta steps and the number of parameters used to discretize the control input history. The method is being applied to a three link redundant robotic arm with torque bounds, joint angle bounds, and a specified tip path. It solves case after case within a graphical user interface in which the user chooses the initial joint angles and the tip path with a mouse. Solve times are from 30 to 120 seconds on a Hewlett Packard workstation.more »« less

Guided basin-hopping search of small boron clusters with density functional theory

Journal Article Ng, Wei Chun ; Yoon, Tiem Leong ; Lim, Thong Leng - AIP Conference Proceedings

The search for the ground state structures of Boron clusters has been a difficult computational task due to the unique metalloid nature of Boron atom. Previous research works had overcome the problem in the search of the Boron ground-state structures by adding symmetry constraints prior to the process of locating the local minima in the potential energy surface (PES) of the Boron clusters. In this work, we shown that, with the deployment of a novel computational approach that incorporates density functional theory (DFT) into a guided global optimization search algorithm based on basin-hopping, it is possible to directly locate themore »« less

Examining the structural evolution of bicarbonate–water clusters: insights from photoelectron spectroscopy, basin-hopping structural search, and comparison with available IR spectral studies

Journal Article Wen, Hui ; Hou, Gao-Lei ; Liu, Yi-Rong ; ... - Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics. PCCP (Print)

Bicarbonate serves a crucial biochemical role in the physiological pH buffering system and also has important atmospheric implications. In the current study, HCO₃^{more » $$-$$}(H₂O)_n (n = 0-13) clusters were successfully produced via electrospray ionization of corresponding bulk salt solution, and were characterized by combining negative ion photoelectron spectroscopy and theoretical calculations. The photoelectron spectra reveal that the electron binding energy monotonically increases with the cluster size up to n = 10 and remains largely the same after n > 10. The photo-detaching feature of the solute HCO3$$-$$itself, which dominates in the small clusters, diminishes with increase of water coverage. Based on the charge distribution and molecular orbital analyses, the universal high electron binding energy tail that dominates in the larger clusters can be attributed to ionization of water. Thus, the transition of ionization from solute to solvent at the size larger than n=10 has been observed. Extensive theoretical structural search based on the Basin-Hopping unbiased method was carried out, and a plethora of low energy isomers have been obtained for each medium and large size. By comparing the simulated photoelectron spectra and calculated electron binding energies with the experiments, as well as by comparing the simulated infrared spectra with previously reported IR spectra, the probable global minima and the structural evolutionary routes are presented. The nature of bicarbonate-water interactions are mainly electrostatic as implied by the electron localization function (ELF) analysis.« less
