============
Dimer method
============
.. module:: ase.mep.dimer
The dimer method is a means of finding a saddle point on a potential energy
surface starting from a single point (as opposed to a NEB calculation,
which requires an initial and final state). You can read about this method
here:
1. 'A dimer method for finding saddle points on high dimensional
potential surfaces using only first derivatives', G. Henkelman
and H. Jonsson, J. Chem. Phys. 111, 7010, 1999.
An example is shown below.
.. literalinclude:: ../../ase/test/test_dimer_method.py
:end-before: Test
The module contains several classes.
.. autoclass:: DimerControl
.. autoclass:: MinModeAtoms
.. autoclass:: MinModeTranslate
.. autoclass:: DimerEigenmodeSearch
