2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
the displacement method and is easier to implement in an MD code.< / p >

< p > This fix uses positions of atoms in the specified group and calculates
2013-03-12 05:36:58 +08:00
two-point correlations. To achieve this. the positions of the atoms
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
are examined every < em > Nevery< / em > steps and are Fourier-transformed into
2013-03-12 05:36:58 +08:00
reciprocal space, where the averaging process and correlation
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
computation is then done. After every < em > Noutput< / em > measurements, the
matrix < strong > G**(**q< / strong > ) is calculated and inverted to obtain the elastic
2013-03-12 05:36:58 +08:00
stiffness coefficients. The dynamical matrices are then constructed
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
and written to < em > prefix< / em > .bin.timestep files in binary format and to the
file < em > prefix< / em > .log for each wavevector < strong > q< / strong > .< / p >
< p > A detailed description of this method can be found in
(< a class = "reference internal" href = "#kong2011" > < span > Kong2011< / span > < / a > ).< / p >
< p > The < em > sysdim< / em > keyword is optional. If specified with a value smaller
2013-03-12 05:36:58 +08:00
than the dimensionality of the LAMMPS simulation, its value is used
for the dynamical matrix calculation. For example, using LAMMPS ot
model a 2D or 3D system, the phonon dispersion of a 1D atomic chain
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
can be computed using < em > sysdim< / em > = 1.< / p >
< p > The < em > nasr< / em > keyword is optional. An iterative procedure is employed to
enforce the acoustic sum rule on & Phi; at & Gamma;, and the number
provided by keyword < em > nasr< / em > gives the total number of iterations. For a
system whose unit cell has only one atom, < em > nasr< / em > = 1 is sufficient;
for other systems, < em > nasr< / em > = 10 is typically sufficient.< / p >
< p > The < em > map_file< / em > contains the mapping information between the lattice
2013-03-12 05:36:58 +08:00
indices and the atom IDs, which tells the code which atom sits at
which lattice point; the lattice indices start from 0. An auxiliary
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
code, < a class = "reference external" href = "http://code.google.com/p/latgen" > latgen< / a > , can be employed to
generate the compatible map file for various crystals.< / p >
< p > In case one simulates an aperiodic system, where the whole simulation box
is treated as a unit cell, one can set < em > map_file< / em > as < em > GAMMA< / em > , so that the mapping
2013-11-05 00:59:03 +08:00
info will be generated internally and a file is not needed. In this case, the
dynamical matrix at only the gamma-point will/can be evaluated. Please keep in
mind that fix-phonon is designed for cyrstals, it will be inefficient and
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
even degrade the performance of lammps in case the unit cell is too large.< / p >
< p > The calculated dynamical matrix elements are written out in
< a class = "reference internal" href = "units.html" > < em > energy/distance^2/mass< / em > < / a > units. The coordinates for < em > q< / em >
2013-03-12 05:36:58 +08:00
