✦ Synopsis

This article describes a parallel real-coded genetic algorithm implemented to find global minimum energy structures of microclusters of non-bonded argon and xenon atoms. Using appropriate genetic operators, the genetic algorithm was able to find minimum energy structures for microclusters of two to twenty atoms, in all possible combinations of argon and xenon.
