Ab initio structure prediction methods have been nowadays widely used as powerful tools for structure searches and material discovery. However, they are generally restricted to small systems owing to the heavy computational cost of underlying density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In this work, by combining state-of-art machine learning (ML) potential with our in-house developed CALYPSO structure prediction method, we developed two acceleration schemes for structure prediction toward large systems, in which ML potential is pre-constructed to fully replace DFT calculations or trained in an on-the-fly manner from scratch during the structure searches. The developed schemes have been applied to medium- and large-sized boron clusters, which are challenging cases for both construction of ML potentials and extensive structure searches. Experimental structures of B36 and B40 clusters can be readily reproduced, and the putative global minimum structure for B84 cluster is proposed, where substantially less computational cost by several orders of magnitude is evident if compared with full DFT-based structure searches. Our results demonstrate a viable route for structure prediction toward large systems via the combination of state-of-art structure prediction methods and ML techniques.
We present a new version of the Ogre open source Python package with the capability to perform structure prediction of epitaxial inorganic interfaces by lattice and surface matching. In the lattice matching step a scan over combinations of substrate
The adsorption and dissociation of O$_{2}$ molecules at the Be(0001) surface is studied by using density-functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation and a supercell approach. The physi- and chemisorbed molecular precursor states a
We show that the work function of exfoliated single layer graphene can be modified by irradiation with swift (E_{kin}=92 MeV) heavy ions under glancing angles of incidence. Upon ion impact individual surface tracks are created in graphene on SiC. Due

Crystal structure prediction is one of the major unsolved problems in materials science. Traditionally, this problem is formulated as a global optimization problem for which global search algorithms are combined with first principle free energy calcu
