“…Since it was not parameterized to model compressed Sn configurations, it is not unexpected to see its less accurate performance resolving competing phases under high pressures. At the same time, the MEAM significantly disfavors the viable but elusive γ-Sn with the simple hexagonal structure [21] and our MEAM-based evolutionary searches uncovered an artificial ground state (oI4-Immm, a = 3.2485 Å, b = 4.5366 Å, c = 8.3219 Å, and a single 4j (1/2,0, 0.3276) Wyckoff position) 11 meV/atom below α-Sn at 0 K and 0 GPa. Finally, an interesting hybrid model, a combination of EAM and rapid artificial NN potential, has been recently developed and demonstrated to have a much-improved description of Sn phases in a wide range of temperatures and pressures [82].…”
