<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: The <I>eam</I> style reads single-element EAM potentials in

2006-09-28 03:12:31 +08:00

the DYNAMO <I>funcfl</I> format. Either single element or alloy systems
|
2006-11-02 07:01:32 +08:00
|
|
|
can be modeled using multiple <I>funcfl</I> files and style <I>eam</I>. For the
|
|
|
|
|
alloy case LAMMPS mixes the single-element potentials to produce alloy
|
|
|
|
|
potentials, the same way that DYNAMO does. Alternatively, a single
|
2007-03-08 09:01:08 +08:00

DYNAMO <I>setfl</I> file or Finnis/Sinclair EAM file can be used by LAMMPS
|
2006-11-02 07:01:32 +08:00
|
|
|
to model alloy systems by invoking the <I>eam/alloy</I> or <I>eam/fs</I> styles
|
|
|

as described below. These files require no mixing since they specify
|

alloy interactions explicitly.

the tabulated values for each phi function are listed in <I>setfl</I> files
