33. Note that the time steps of (Formula presented) are appropriate for the Newtonian dynamics in the present study. Much longer (Formula presented) would lead to the jumps of atoms to local minima far from the global minimum. A similar simulation (see Ref. 24) has used time steps approximately one order of magnitude longer and increments (Formula presented) five times larger. Since the number of relaxation after each increment (Formula presented) can be arbitrarily large, the time interval (Formula presented) may not be a relevant time scale in the dynamics. For the critical discussion of the issue see also A. P. Sutton, Curr. Opin. Solid State Mater. Sci. 1, 827 (1996).
