Nature of problem: Predicting the crystal structure of a system from its stoichiometry alone remains a grand challenge in computational materials science, chemistry, and physics.
Solution method: Evolutionary algorithms are stochastic search techniques which use concepts from biological evolution in order to locate the global minimum on their potential energy surface. Our evolutionary algorithm, XtalOpt, is freely available to the scientific community for use and collaboration under the GNU Public License.
Running time: User dependent. The program runs until stopped by the user.
