GULP: A computer program for the symmetry-adapted simulation of solids

Gale, Julian D.·1997·Journal of the Chemical Society, Faraday Transactions

Abstract

Algorithms for the symmetry-adapted energy minimisation of solids using analytical first and second derivatives have been devised and implemented in a new computer program GULP. These new methods are found to lead to an improvement in computational efficiency of up to an order of magnitude over the standard algorithm, which takes no account of symmetry, the largest improvement being obtained from the use of symmetry in the generation of the hessian. Accelerated convergence techniques for the dispersion energy are found to be beneficial in improving the precision at little extra computational cost, particularly when a one centre decomposition is possible or the Ewald sum weighting towards real-space is increased.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
