Free-energy derivatives and structure optimization within quasiharmonic lattice dynamics

A method is presented for the calculation of the gradient of the free energy with respect to all the internal and external degrees of freedom of a periodic crystal. This gradient can be used in conjunction with a static-energy Hessian for efficient geometrical optimization of systems with large unit...
