<P><B>Description:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Perform the charge equilibration (QEq) method as described in <A HREF = "#Rappe_1991">(Rappe
|
|
and Goddard, 1991)</A> and formulated in <A HREF = "#Nakano_1997">(Nakano,
|
|
1997)</A>. It is typically used in conjunction with the
|
|
ReaxFF force field model as implemented in the <A HREF = "pair_reax_c.html">pair_style
|
|
reax/c</A> command.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The QEq method minimizes the electrostatic energy of the system by
|
|
adjusting the partial charge on individual atoms based on interactions
|
|
with their neighbors. It reqires some parameters for each atom type.
|
|
If the <I>params</I> setting above is the word "reax/c", then these are
|
|
extracted from the <A HREF = "pair_reax_c.html">pair_style reax/c</A> command and
|
|
the ReaxFF force field file it reads in. If a file name is specified
|
|
for <I>params</I>, then the parameters are taken from the specified file
|
|
and the file must contain one line for each atom type. Each line
|
|
should be formatted as follows:
|
|
</P>
|
|
<PRE>itype chi eta gamma
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P>where <I>itype</I> is the atom type from 1 to Ntypes, <I>chi</I> denotes the
|
|
electronegativity in energy units, <I>eta</I> denotes the self-Coulomb
|
|
potential in energy units, and <I>gamma</I> denotes the valence orbital
|
|
exponent. Note that these 3 quantities are also in the ReaxFF
|
|
potential file, except that eta is defined here as twice the eta value
|
|
in the ReaxFF file.

<P>No information about this fix is written to <A HREF = "restart.html">binary restart

files</A>. No global scalar or vector or per-atom
|
|
quantities are stored by this fix for access by various <A HREF = "Section_howto.html#4_15">output

commands</A>. No parameter of this fix can be
|
|
used with the <I>start/stop</I> keywords of the <A HREF = "run.html">run</A> command.

<P><B>Restrictions:</B>
|

</P>
|
|
<P>This fix is part of the "user-reaxc" package. It is only enabled if
|
|
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#2_3">Making
|
|
LAMMPS</A> section for more info.
