To ensure that advantages of the methodologies discussed above were not an artifact of utilizing the less accurate EMT calculator, the MLaGA was tested searching directly on the DFT PES. As a significant reduction in the number of energy calculations is likely to be achieved and parallelization of calculations is favorable, the search is performed with the generational population setup. Utilizing the MLaGA methodology, while allowing the nested search to run for a greater number of generations, it is possible to locate the convex hull of minima with approximately 700 DFT calculations. When optimizing geometries with the DFT calculator, there was a 0 eV barrier to structural rearrangement for a small range of the Au deficient compositions.
