Notes:
Density functional calculations - with a local density approximation for the exchange and correlation energy - provide a numerically efficient method for determining total energy variations in molecules. Coupled with molecular dynamics techniques such as simulated annealing, they provide a scheme for probing large regions of configuration space in molecules. We outline the main features of the method and apply it to different ring isomers of S7O, S8, S7Se, Se8, and O8.
