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…
Understanding long-time vacancy aggregation in iron: a kinetic activation-relaxation technique study
Peter Brommer, Laurent Karim Béland, Jean-François Joly +1
Vacancy diffusion and clustering processes in body-centered-cubic (bcc) Fe are studied using the kinetic activation-relaxation technique (k-ART), an off-lattice kinetic Monte Carlo…
Replenish and relax: explaining logarithmic annealing in disordered materials
Laurent Karim Béland, Yonathan Anahory, Dries Smeets +7
Fatigue and aging of materials are, in large part, determined by the evolution of the atomic-scale structure in response to strains and perturbations. This coupling between microsc…
Kinetic Activation Relaxation Technique
Laurent Karim Béland, Peter Brommer, Fedwa El-Mellouhi +2
We present a detailed description of the kinetic Activation-Relaxation Technique (k-ART), an off-lattice, self-learning kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm with on-the-fly event search.…
