Abstract：
We have developed an efficient CALYPSO methodology [1-2] for materials structure prediction from “scratch”. The approach is based on an efficient global minimization of free energy surfaces merging total-energy calculations via PSO technique and requires only chemical compositions for a given compound to predict stable or metastable structures at given external conditions (e.g., pressure). The CALYPSO algorithm has been implemented in Crystal structure AnaLYsis by Particle Swarm Optimization (CALYPSO) package [1-2] and successfully benchmarked through the blind prediction of many known systems with various chemical bonding environments (e.g., metallic, ionic, and covalent bonding). The high success rate demonstrates the reliability of this methodology as a major technique on structure prediction. Currently, CALYPSO method has been applied to the structure prediction problems on clusters [3], surfaces [4], 2D layers [5], and 3D crystals [1], and widely used by about 300 international users distributed over 26 counties.
We recently have applied the CALYPSO method to solve complex insulating high pressure structures of lithium [6] and Bi2Te3 [7], to predict the partially ionic high pressure phases of water ice [8], molecular dissociation of solid oxygen [9], and the novel sodalite hydrogen cage of CaH6 hydride [10].
