Global optimization of atomic cluster structures using parallel genetic algorithms

The study of the structure and physical properties of atomic clusters is an extremely active area of research due to their importance, both in fundamental science and in applied technology. For medium size atomic clusters most of the structures reported today have been obtained by local optimization...
