Description
|
|
"""""""""""
|
|
|
|
Define a computation that calculates the number of contacts
|
|
for each atom in a group.
|
|
|
|
The contact number is defined for finite-size spherical particles as
|
|
the number of neighbor atoms which overlap the central particle,
|
|
meaning that their distance of separation is less than or equal to the
|
|
sum of the radii of the two particles.
|
|
|
|
The value of the contact number will be 0.0 for atoms not in the
|
|
specified compute group.
|
|
|
|
**Output info:**
|
|
|
|
This compute calculates a per-atom vector, whose values can be
|
|
accessed by any command that uses per-atom values from a compute as
|
|
input. See :ref:`Section_howto 15 <howto_15>` for an
|
|
overview of LAMMPS output options.
|
|
|
|
The per-atom vector values will be a number >= 0.0, as explained
|
|
above.
|
|
|
|
Restrictions
|
|
""""""""""""
|
|
|
|
|
|
This compute requires that atoms store a radius as defined by the
|
|
:doc:`atom_style sphere <atom_style>` command.
