Curved-line search algorithm for ab initio atomic structure relaxation

Journal Article Chen, Zhanghui ; Li, Jingbo ; Li, Shushen ; ... - Physical Review B

Ab initio atomic relaxations often take large numbers of steps and long times to converge, especially when the initial atomic configurations are far from the local minimum or there are curved and narrow valleys in the multidimensional potentials. An atomic relaxation method based on on-the-flight force learning and a corresponding curved-line search algorithm is presented to accelerate this process. In this work, results demonstrate the superior performance of this method for metal and magnetic clusters when compared with the conventional conjugate-gradient method.

Evolution of local atomic structure during solidification of Al2Au liquid: An ab initio study

Journal Article Xiong, L H ; Lou, H B ; Wang, X D ; ... - Acta Materialia

The local atomic structure evolution in Al2Au alloy during solidification from 2000 K to 400 K was studied by ab initio molecular dynamics simulations and analyzed using the structure factor, pair correlation functions, bond angle distributions, the Honeycutt-Anderson (HA) index and Voronoi tessellation methods. It was found that the icosahedral-like clusters are negligible in the Al2Au stable liquid and supercooled liquid states, and the most abundant clusters are those having HA indices of 131 and 120 or Voronoi indices of < 0,4,4,0 >, < 0,3, 6,0 > and < 0,4,4,2 > with coordination numbers of 8, 9 and 10, respectively.more »« less

Atomic structure evolution during solidification of liquid niobium from ab initio molecular dynamics simulations

Journal Article Debela, T. T. ; Wang, X. D. ; Cao, Q. P. ; ... - Journal of Physics. Condensed Matter

Atomic structure transitions of liquid niobium during solidification, at different temperatures from 3200 to 1500 K, were studied by using ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. The local atomic structure variations with temperature are investigated by using the pair-correlation function, the structure factor, the bond-angle distribution function, the Honeycutt–Anderson index, Voronoi tessellation and the cluster alignment methods. Our results clearly show that, upon quenching, the icosahedral short-range order dominates in the stable liquid and supercooled liquid states before the system transforms to crystalline body-center cubic phase at a temperature of about 1830 K.

Ab initio global optimization of the structures of Si{sub n}H, n=4-10, using parallel genetic algorithms

Journal Article Ona, Ofelia ; Facelli, Julio C ; Bazterra, Victor E ; ... - Physical Review. A

The results of ab initio global optimizations of the structures of Si{sub n}H, n=4-10, atomic clusters using a parallel genetic algorithm are presented. Driving the global search with the parallel implementation of the genetic algorithm are presented and using the density functional theory as implemented in the Carr-Parinello molecular dynamics code to calculate atomic cluster energies and perform the local optimization of their structures, we have been able to demonstrate that it is possible to perform global optimizations of the structure of atomic clusters using ab initio methods. The results show that this approach is able to find many structuresmore »« less
