  • Abstract
    The optimization of molecular structure is a very difficult global optimize problem. As there are many parameters to describe the molecular, it is hard to find the global optimal without an appropriate algorithms. In this paper, we choose genetic algorithms (GA) to optimize the structure of silicon clusters. Compared to other algorithms, GA has a higher efficiency in finding the global optimal. We make some improvement to the former algorithms. The results prove what we have done is acceptable.
