Probing potential energy surface exploration strategies for complex systems
Gawonou Kokou N'Tsouaglo, Laurent Karim Béland, Jean-François Joly +3
The efficiency of minimum-energy configuration searching algorithms is closely linked to the energy landscape structure of complex systems. Here we characterize this structure by f…

Strain effect and intermixing at the Si surface: A hybrid quantum and molecular mechanics study
Laurent Karim Béland, Eduardo Machado-Charry, Pascal Pochet +1
We investigate Ge mixing at the Si(001) surface and characterize the Si(001) reconstruction by means of hybrid quantum and molecular mechanics calculations (QM/MM). Avo…
