DiSPy: Implementation of Distortion Symmetry for the Nudged Elastic Band Method
Jason M. Munro, Vincent S. Liu, Venkatraman Gopalan +1
The nudged elastic band (NEB) method is a commonly used approach for the calculation of minimum energy pathways of kinetic processes. However, the final paths obtained rely heavily…

A new symmetry-based framework for discovering minimum energy pathways
Jason M. Munro, Hirofumi Akamatsu, Haricharan Padmanabhan +6
Physical systems evolve from one state to another along paths of least energy barrier. Without a priori knowledge of the energy landscape, multidimensional search methods aim to fi…
