Study of the Ground-State Geometry of Silicon Clusters Using Artificial Neural Networks
Theoretical determination of the ground-state geometry of Si clusters is a difficult task. As the number of local minima grows exponentially with the number of atoms, to find the global minimum is a real challenge. One may start the search procedure from a random distribution of atoms but it is prob...
