XtalOpt version r9: An open-source evolutionary algorithm for crystal structure prediction

This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018) Abstract A new version of XtalOpt, an evolutionary algorithm for crystal structure prediction, is available for download from the CPC library or the XtalOpt website, http://xtalopt.github.io. XtalOpt is published under the Gnu Public License (GPL), which is an open source license that is recognized by the Open Source Initiative. The new version incorporates many bug-fixes and new features, as detailed below. Title of program: XtalOpt Catalogue Id: AEGX_v3_0 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.
