 +Geometry optimization has been widely used in surface science and computational catalysis. Based on electronic structure theory or force fields, the structures are optimized under 0 K to calculate the potential energy. To obtain the Gibbs free energy, one can use
 +$G = E_{DFT} + ZPE - TS$, where the latter two terms can be estimated by the [[exercises:common:vib| Vibrational Analysis]] .
