Automatically generated MEAM potentials from DFT for simulation of LixSiy battery materials — •Sebastian Schwalbe and Jens Kortus — TU Freiberg, Institute of Theoretical Physics
We implemented an optimization procedure using the so called particle swarm optimization (PSO [1]) to automatically optimize modified embedded atom method (MEAM [2,3]) parameters. In detail physical properties (elastic constants, bulk modulus, total energy) calculated with density functional theory (DFT) will be used as constraints for the PSO algorithm leading to a DFT like accuracy MEAM potential. We generated these optimized MEAM potentials for Li and Si to be used for large scale simulations of LixSiy battery materials.
