<P>Style <I>reax</I> computes the ReaxFF potential of van Duin, Goddard and
|
2009-02-07 00:12:07 +08:00
|
|
|
co-workers. ReaxFF uses distance-dependent bond-order functions to
|
|
|
|
|
represent the contributions of chemical bonding to the potential
|
2010-09-04 08:17:54 +08:00
|
|
|
energy. There is more than one version of ReaxFF. The version
|
|
|
|
|
implemented in LAMMPS uses the functional forms documented in the
|
|
|
|
|
supplemental information of the following paper:
|
2010-10-27 04:54:38 +08:00
|
|
|
<A HREF = "#Chenoweth_2008">(Chenoweth)</A>. The version integrated into LAMMPS matches
|
2010-09-04 08:17:54 +08:00
|
|
|
the most up-to-date version of ReaxFF as of summer 2010.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The <I>reax</I> style differs from the <A HREF = "pair_reax_c.html">pair_style reax/c</A>
|
|
|
|
|
command in the lo-level implementation details. The <I>reax</I> style is a
|
|
|
|
|
Fortran library, linked to LAMMPS. The <I>reax/c</I> style was initially
|
|
|
|
|
implemented as stand-alone C code and is now integrated into LAMMPS as
|
|
|
|
|
a package.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>LAMMPS requires that a file called ffield.reax be provided, containing
|
|
|
|
|
the ReaxFF parameters for each atom type, bond type, etc. The format
|
|
|
|
|
is identical to the ffield file used by van Duin and co-workers. The
|
|
|
|
|
filename is required as an argument in the pair_coeff command. Any
|
|
|
|
|
value other than "ffield.reax" will be rejected (see below).
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>LAMMPS provides several different versions of ffield.reax in its
|
|
|
|
|
potentials dir, each called potentials/ffield.reax.label. These are
|
|
|
|
|
documented in potentials/README.reax. The default ffield.reax
|
|
|
|
|
contains parameterizations for the following elements: C, H, O, N, S.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The format of these files is identical to that used originally by van
|
2010-09-25 06:53:41 +08:00
|
|
|
Duin. We have tested the accuracy of <I>pair_style reax</I> potential
|
2010-09-04 08:17:54 +08:00
|
|
|
against the original ReaxFF code for the systems mentioned above. You
|
|
|
|
|
can use other ffield files for specific chemical systems that may be
|
|
|
|
|
available elsewhere (but note that their accuracy may not have been
|
|
|
|
|
tested).

<P>The <I>hbcut</I>, <I>hbnewflag</I>, <I>tripflag</I>, and <I>precision</I> settings are
|
|
|
|
|
optional arguments. If none are provided, default settings are used:
|
|
|
|
|
<I>hbcut</I> = 6 (which is Angstroms in real units), <I>hbnewflag</I> = 1 (use
|
|
|
|
|
new hbond function style), <I>tripflag</I> = 1 (apply stabilization to all
|
|
|
|
|
triple bonds), and <I>precision</I> = 1.0e-6 (one part in 10^6). If you
|
|
|
|
|
wish to override any of these defaults, then all of the settings must
|
|
|
|
|
be specified.

2010-09-04 08:17:54 +08:00

calculation. See the <A HREF = "atom_style.html">atom_style</A> and

where N is the number of LAMMPS atom types:

<P>The specification of the filename and the mapping of LAMMPS atom types
|
|
|
|
|
recognized by the ReaxFF is done differently than for other LAMMPS
|
|
|
|
|
potentials, due to the non-portable difficulty of passing character
|
|
|
|
|
strings (e.g. filename, element names) between C++ and Fortran.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The filename has to be "ffield.reax" and it has to exist in the
|
|
|
|
|
directory you are running LAMMPS in. This means you cannot prepend a
|
|
|
|
|
path to the file in the potentials dir. Rather, you should copy that
|
|
|
|
|
file into the directory you are running from. If you wish to use
|
2009-08-09 04:17:29 +08:00
|
|
|
another ReaxFF potential file, then name it "ffield.reax" and put it
|
|
|
|
|
in the directory you run from.

</P>
|
2010-09-04 08:17:54 +08:00
|
|
|
<P>In the ReaxFF potential file, near the top, after the general
|
|
|
|
|
parameters, is the atomic parameters section that contains element
|
|
|
|
|
names, each with a couple dozen numeric parameters. If there are M
|
|
|
|
|
elements specified in the <I>ffield</I> file, think of these as numbered 1
|
|
|
|
|
to M. Each of the N indices you specify for the N atom types of LAMMPS
|
|
|
|
|
atoms must be an integer from 1 to M. Atoms with LAMMPS type 1 will
|
|
|
|
|
be mapped to whatever element you specify as the first index value,
|
|
|
|
|
etc. If a mapping value is specified as NULL, the mapping is not
|
|
|
|
|
performed. This can be used when a ReaxFF potential is used as part
|
|
|
|
|
of the <I>hybrid</I> pair style. The NULL values are placeholders for atom
|
|
|
|
|
types that will be used with other potentials.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
2011-02-16 02:42:22 +08:00
|
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: Currently the reax pair style cannot be used as part
|
|
|
|
|
of the <I>hybrid</I> pair style. Some additional changes still need to be
|
|
|
|
|
made to enable this.

<P>As an example, say your LAMMPS simulation has 4 atom types and the
|
|
|
|
|
elements are ordered as C, H, O, N in the <I>ffield</I> file. If you want
|
|
|
|
|
the LAMMPS atom type 1 and 2 to be C, type 3 to be N, and type 4 to be

H, you would use the following pair_coeff command:
