Abstract

A hybrid approach is described, which combines stochastic classical molecular dynamics and first-principles density functional theory to model the atomic structure and properties of large solid-state systems. The stochastic molecular dynamics using generalized simulated annealing (GSA) is based on nonextensive statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. Examples of applications are given on metalloid impurities in metals.
