Self-learning kinetic Monte Carlo method: Application to Cu(111)
@article{Trushin2005SelflearningKM, title={Self-learning kinetic Monte Carlo method: Application to Cu(111)}, author={Oleg Trushin and Altaf Karim and Abdelkader Kara and Talat S. Rahman}, journal={Physical Review B}, year={2005}, volume={72}, pages={115401} }
We present a method of performing kinetic Monte Carlo simulations that does not require an a priori list of diffusion processes and their associated energetics and reaction rates. Rather, at any time during the simulation, energetics for all possible single- or multiatom processes, within a specific interaction range, are either computed accurately using a saddle-point search procedure, or retrieved from a database in which previously encountered processes are stored. This self-learning…

Self-learning kinetic Monte Carlo simulations of self-diffusion of small Ag islands on the Ag(111) surface
- PhysicsJournal of physics. Condensed matter : an Institute of Physics journal
- 2016
Self-diffusion of small two-dimensional Ag islands, containing up to ten atoms, on the Ag(111) surface using self-learning kinetic Monte Carlo (SLKMC) simulations finds that two- to seven-atom islands primarily diffuse via concerted translation processes with small contributions from multi-atom and single-atom processes.

This work has obtained N-independent scaling for the computational cost of the saddle-point search as a function of system size N and shows significantly improved performance of TAD with the LSAD method, for the case of Ag/Ag( 100) annealing and Cu/Cu(100) growth, while maintaining a negligibly small error in energy barriers.
