Accelerating structure search using atomistic graph-based classifiers

Abstract

We introduce an atomistic classifier based on a combination of spectral graph theory and a Voronoi tessellation method. This classifier allows for the discrimination between structures from different minima of a potential energy surface, making it a useful tool for sorting through large datasets of atomic systems. We incorporate the classifier as a filtering method in the Global Optimization with First-principles Energy Expressions (GOFEE) algorithm. Here it is used to filter out structures from exploited regions of the potential energy landscape, whereby the risk of stagnation during the searches is lowered. We demonstrate the usefulness of the classifier by solving the global optimization problem of 2-dimensional pyroxene, 3-dimensional olivine, Au12, and Lennard-Jones LJ55 and LJ75 nanoparticles.
