compute cna/atom command :h3
|
|
|
|
[Syntax:]
|
|
|
|
compute ID group-ID cna/atom cutoff :pre
|
|
|
|
ID, group-ID are documented in "compute"_compute.html command
|
|
cna/atom = style name of this compute command
|
|
cutoff = cutoff distance for nearest neighbors (distance units) :ul
|
|
|
|
[Examples:]
|
|
|
|
compute 1 all cna/atom 3.08 :pre
|
|
|
|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
Define a computation that calculates the CNA (Common Neighbor
|
|
Analysis) pattern for each atom in the group. In solid-state systems
|
|
the CNA pattern is a useful measure of the local crystal structure
|
|
around an atom. The CNA methodology is described in "(Faken)"_#Faken
|
|
and "(Tsuzuki)"_#Tsuzuki.
|
|
|
|
Currently, there are five kinds of CNA patterns LAMMPS recognizes:
|
|
|
|
fcc = 1
|
|
hcp = 2
|
|
bcc = 3
|
|
icosohedral = 4
|
|
unknown = 5 :ul
|
|
|
|
The value of the CNA pattern will be 0 for atoms not in the specified
|
|
compute group. Note that normally a CNA calculation should only be
|
|
performed on mono-component systems.
|
|
|
|
The CNA calculation can be sensitive to the specified cutoff value.
|
|
You should insure the appropriate nearest neighbors of an atom are
|
|
found within the cutoff distance for the presumed crystal strucure.
|
|
E.g. 12 nearest neighbor for perfect FCC and HCP crystals, 14 nearest
|
|
neighbors for perfect BCC crystals. These formulas can be used to
|
|
obtain a good cutoff distance:
|
|
|
|
:c,image(Eqs/cna_cutoff1.jpg)
|
|
|
|
where a is the lattice constant for the crystal structure concerned
|
|
and in the HCP case, x = (c/a) / 1.633, where 1.633 is the ideal c/a
|
|
for HCP crystals.
|
|
|
|
Also note that since the CNA calculation in LAMMPS uses the neighbors
|
|
of an owned atom to find the nearest neighbors of a ghost atom, the
|
|
following relation should also be satisfied:
|
|
|
|
:c,image(Eqs/cna_cutoff2.jpg)
|
|
|
|
where Rc is the cutoff distance of the potential, Rs is the skin
|
|
distance as specified by the "neighbor"_neighbor.html command, and
|
|
cutoff is the argument used with the compute cna/atom command. LAMMPS
|
|
will issue a warning if this is not the case.
|
|
|
|
The neighbor list needed to compute this quantity is constructed each
|
|
time the calculation is performed (e.g. 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 with a
|
|
{cna/atom} style.
|
|
|
|
[Output info:]
|
|
|
|
This compute calculates a per-atom vector, which can be accessed by
|
|
any command that uses per-atom values from a compute as input. See
|
|
"this section"_Section_howto.html#4_15 for an overview of LAMMPS
|
|
output options.
|
|
|
|
The per-atom vector values will be a number from 0 to 5, as explained
|
|
above.
