Data-driven linear interatomic potentials
Modelling alloy phase transitions at the atomic scale with first-principles accuracy has been a long-standing research goal. This is becoming increasingly accessible due to the rapid development of data-driven interatomic potential frameworks over the last decade. This thesis presents two novel …

On the reaction coordinate optimality for reversible aggregation kinetics
… a vast class of finite-sized systems, including atomic cluster transitions, macromolecular aggregation, and protein folding. As a consequence, potential applications related to these transitions span a myriad of scientific areas, from the development of phase change materials in material science …

Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials to Predict Bond Dissociation Energies
… structures. Recently, Machine Learning Interatomic Potentials (MLIPs) have emerged as versatile surrogate models capable of accurately reproducing ab initio potential energy surfaces. However, most of their applications have been targeted at near-equilibrium closed-shell structures. This …

Nearly reducible finite Markov chains: theory and algorithms
… and a configurational transition in an atomic cluster. Relevant classical theory of finite Markov chains and a description of existing robust algorithms for their numerical analysis is given in Chapter 1. The remainder of this thesis considers the problem of investigating a transition …

A Prelude to a Third Dimension of the Periodic Table: Superatoms of Aluminum Iodide Clusters
… and electronic structure of aluminum iodide clusters using first principles gradient-corrected density functional theory. Analysis of A113Ix-, A114Ix-, and A17I- clusters reveals that their stability is governed by the geometrically unperturbed A113-, A1142+, and A17+ units, respectively, …
