GAP interatomic potential for SnOx nanoparticles

Gaussian approximation potential (GAP) [1] for SnOx nanoparticles. It has been fitted with QUIP/GAP [1,2] by generating a new database of atomic structures containing:

1. dimers Sn-Sn, Sn-O, O-O;
2. Sn, SnO, SnO2 bulk structures;
3. surface slabs;
4. nanoparticles (SnO_(93.8-81.3)%, SnO_50%, SnO_(19-3.1)%, Sn)

The calculations were carried out at the PBE level of theory [3] using the VASP code [4,5]. This potential uses 2-body (distance_2b) and SOAP-type descriptors (soap_turbo) [6,7]. The files can be used both with QUIP/GAP (compiled with the soap_turbo libraries) and TurboGAP [8]. This is the reference publication for this potential:
