Physical perspectives on the global optimization of atomic clusters
In this chapter the physical aspects of the global optimization of the geometry of atomic clusters are elucidated. In particular, I examine the structural principles that determine the nature of the lowest-energy structure, the physical reasons why some clusters are especially difficult to optimize...

| Тойм: | In this chapter the physical aspects of the global optimization of the geometry of atomic clusters are elucidated. In particular, I examine the structural principles that determine the nature of the lowest-energy structure, the physical reasons why some clusters are especially difficult to optimize and how the basin-hopping transformation of the potential energy surface enables these difficult clusters to be optimized. |
