The ability to predict crystal structures from first principles has been one of the great challenges for computational chemistry. Development of methods for crystal structure prediction (CSP) is a central focus of work in our research group. The goal of reliable and affordable CSP involves a number of big challenges:
Lattice energy surfaces are complex, high-dimensional, and are defined by a range of types and strengths of interactions. Experimentally realisable crystal structures correspond to local minima on this energy surface, so it is important for CSP methods to reliably locate all local minima on the lattice energy surface within the energetically accessible energy range from the global minimum (lowest energy possible crystal structure). This is not simply a global optimisation problem because this accessible energy range can be very wide, including hundreds or more structures.
The second challenge is to accurately predict the thermodynamic stability of the predicted crystal structures. For many organic molecules, putative crystal structures are separated by fractions of a kJ/mol, which is challenging for any existing computational method. The requirement to assess large numbers of predicted structures means that we need methods that are computationally efficient and available for the intended users of CSP. To meet these challenges, we combine the use of accurate atomistic force fields, quantum mechanics and machine learning.
