Abstract
We describe a new, biased Monte Carlo scheme to determine the crystal structures of zeolites from powder diffraction data. We test the method on all publicly known zeolite materials, with success in all cases. We show that the method of parallel tempering is a powerful supplement to the biased Monte Carlo.Comment: RevTeX, 28 pages, 10 PS figures. J. Chem. Phys., to appeaKeywords
