compute centro/atom command :h3
|
|
|
|
[Syntax:]
|
|
|
|
compute ID group-ID centro/atom :pre
|
|
|
|
ID, group-ID are documented in "compute"_compute.html command
|
|
centro/atom = style name of this compute command :ul
|
|
|
|
[Examples:]
|
|
|
|
compute 1 all centro/atom :pre
|
|
|
|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
Define a computation that calculates the centro-symmetry parameter for
|
|
each atom in a group. In solid-state systems the centro-symmetry
|
|
parameter is a useful measure of the local lattice disorder around an
|
|
atom and can be used to characterize whether the atom is part of a
|
|
perfect lattice, a local defect (e.g. a dislocation or stacking
|
|
fault), or at a surface.
|
|
|
|
The value of the centro-symmetry parameter will be 0.0 for atoms not
|
|
in the specified compute group.
|
|
|
|
This parameter is computed using the following formula from
|
|
"(Kelchner)"_#Kelchner
|
|
|
|
:c,image(Eqs/centro_symmetry.jpg)
|
|
|
|
where the 12 nearest neighbors are found and Ri and Ri+6 are the
|
|
vectors from the central atom to the opposite pair of nearest
|
|
neighbors. Atoms not in the group are included in the 12 neighbors
|
|
used in this calculation.
|
|
|
|
The neighbor list needed to compute this quantity is constructed each
|
|
time the calculation is performed (i.e. each time a snapshot of atoms
|
|
is dumped). Thus it can be inefficient to compute/dump this quantity
|
|
too frequently or to have multiple compute/dump commands, each of a
|
|
{centro/atom} style.
