Targeting high symmetry in structure predictions by biasing the potential energy surface

Ground-state structures found in nature are, in many cases, of high symmetry. But structure prediction methods typically render only a small fraction of high-symmetry structures. Especially for large crystalline unit cells, there are many low-energy defect structures. For this reason, methods have b...
