A curved line search algorithm for atomic structure relaxation
Abstract
Ab initio atomic relaxations often take large numbers of steps and long times to converge. An atomic relaxation method based on on-the-flight force learning and a corresponding new curved line minimization algorithm is presented to dramatically accelerate this process. Results for metal clusters demonstrate the significant speedup of this method compared with conventional conjugate-gradient method.
