USPEX

Software description

USPEX (Universal Structure Predictor: Evolutionary Xtallography…and in Russian “uspekh” means “success” - owing to the high success rate and many useful results produced by this method) is a method developed by the Oganov laboratory since 2004. The problem of crystal structure prediction is very old and does, in fact, constitute the central problem of theoretical crystal chemistry. USPEX code solves this problem and allows to predict crystal structure with arbitrary P-T conditions by knowing only chemical composition of the material.
