Single-Parent Evolution Algorithm and the Optimization of Si Clusters
Abstract
We describe a novel method for the structural optimization of molecular systems. Similar to genetic algorithms (GA), our approach involves an evolving population in which new members are formed by cutting and pasting operations on existing members. Unlike previous GA's, however, the population in each generation has a single parent only. This scheme has been used to optimize Si clusters with 13-23 atoms. We have found a number of new isomers that are lower in energy than any previously reported and have properties in much better agreement with experimental data.

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.
