<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
|
|
<p>This fix performs grand canonical Monte Carlo (GCMC) exchanges of
|
|
atoms or molecules of the given type with an imaginary ideal gas reservoir at
|
|
the specified T and chemical potential (mu) as discussed in
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="fix_ti_spring.html#frenkel"><span>(Frenkel)</span></a>. If used with the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_nh.html"><em>fix nvt</em></a> command,
|
|
simulations in the grand canonical ensemble (muVT, constant chemical
|
|
potential, constant volume, and constant temperature) can be
|
|
performed. Specific uses include computing isotherms in microporous
|
|
materials, or computing vapor-liquid coexistence curves.</p>
|
|
<p>Every N timesteps the fix attempts a number of GCMC exchanges (insertions
|
|
or deletions) of gas atoms or molecules of
|
|
the given type between the simulation cell and the imaginary
|
|
reservoir. It also attempts a number of Monte Carlo
|
|
moves (translations and molecule rotations) of gas of the given type
|
|
within the simulation cell or region. The average number of
|
|
attempted GCMC exchanges is X. The average number of attempted MC moves is M.
|
|
M should typically be chosen to be
|
|
approximately equal to the expected number of gas atoms or molecules
|
|
of the given type within the simulation cell or region,
|
|
which will result in roughly one
|
|
MC translation per atom or molecule per MC cycle.</p>
|
|
<p>For MC moves of molecular gasses, rotations and translations are each
|
|
attempted with 50% probability. For MC moves of atomic gasses,
|
|
translations are attempted 100% of the time. For MC exchanges of
|
|
either molecular or atomic gasses, deletions and insertions are each
|
|
attempted with 50% probability.</p>
|
|
<p>All inserted particles are always assigned to two groups: the default group
|
|
“all” and the group specified in the fix gcmc command (which can also
|
|
be “all”). In addition, particles are also added to any groups specified
|
|
by the <em>group</em> and <em>grouptype</em> keywords.
|
|
If inserted particles are individual atoms, they are
|
|
assigned the atom type given by the type argument. If they are molecules,
|
|
the type argument has no effect and must be set to zero. Instead,
|
|
the type of each atom in the inserted molecule is specified
|
|
in the file read by the <a class="reference internal" href="molecule.html"><em>molecule</em></a> command.</p>
|
|
<p>This fix cannot be used to perform MC insertions of gas atoms or
|
|
molecules other than the exchanged type, but MC deletions,
|
|
translations, and rotations can be performed on any atom/molecule in
|
|
the fix group. All atoms in the simulation cell can be moved using
|
|
regular time integration translations, e.g. via
|
|
<code class="xref doc docutils literal"><span class="pre">fix_nvt</span></code>, resulting in a hybrid GCMC+MD simulation. A
|
|
smaller-than-usual timestep size may be needed when running such a
|
|
hybrid simulation, especially if the inserted molecules are not well
|
|
equilibrated.</p>
|
|
<p>This command may optionally use the <em>region</em> keyword to define an
|
|
exchange and move volume. The specified region must have been
|
|
previously defined with a <a class="reference internal" href="region.html"><em>region</em></a> command. It must be
|
|
defined with side = <em>in</em>. Insertion attempts occur only within the
|
|
specified region. For non-rectangular regions, random trial
|
|
points are generated within the rectangular bounding box until a point is found
|
|
that lies inside the region. If no valid point is generated after 1000 trials,
|
|
no insertion is performed, but it is counted as an attempted insertion.
|
|
Move and deletion attempt candidates are selected
|
|
from gas atoms or molecules within the region. If there are no candidates,
|
|
no move or deletion is performed, but it is counted as an attempt move
|
|
or deletion. If an attempted move places the atom or molecule center-of-mass outside
|
|
the specified region, a new attempted move is generated. This process is repeated
|
|
until the atom or molecule center-of-mass is inside the specified region.</p>
|
|
<p>If used with <code class="xref doc docutils literal"><span class="pre">fix_nvt</span></code>, the temperature of the imaginary
|
|
reservoir, T, should be set to be equivalent to the target temperature
|
|
used in <code class="xref doc docutils literal"><span class="pre">fix_nvt</span></code>. Otherwise, the imaginary reservoir
|
|
will not be in thermal equilibrium with the simulation cell. Also,
|
|
it is important that the temperature used by fix nvt be dynamic,
|
|
which can be achieved as follows:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>compute mdtemp mdatoms temp
|
|
compute_modify mdtemp dynamic yes
|
|
fix mdnvt mdatoms nvt temp 300.0 300.0 10.0
|
|
fix_modify mdnvt temp mdtemp
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>Note that neighbor lists are re-built every timestep that this fix is
|
|
invoked, so you should not set N to be too small. However, periodic
|
|
rebuilds are necessary in order to avoid dangerous rebuilds and missed
|
|
interactions. Specifically, avoid performing so many MC translations
|
|
per timestep that atoms can move beyond the neighbor list skin
|
|
distance. See the <a class="reference internal" href="neighbor.html"><em>neighbor</em></a> command for details.</p>
|
|
<p>When an atom or molecule is to be inserted, its
|
|
coordinates are chosen at a random position within the current
|
|
simulation cell or region, and new atom velocities are randomly chosen from
|
|
the specified temperature distribution given by T. The effective
|
|
temperature for new atom velocities can be increased or decreased
|
|
using the optional keyword <em>tfac_insert</em> (see below). Relative
|
|
coordinates for atoms in a molecule are taken from the template
|
|
molecule provided by the user. The center of mass of the molecule
|
|
is placed at the insertion point. The orientation of the molecule
|
|
is chosen at random by rotating about this point.</p>
|
|
<p>Individual atoms are inserted, unless the <em>mol</em> keyword is used. It
|
|
specifies a <em>template-ID</em> previously defined using the
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="molecule.html"><em>molecule</em></a> command, which reads a file that defines the
|
|
molecule. The coordinates, atom types, charges, etc, as well as any
|
|
bond/angle/etc and special neighbor information for the molecule can
|
|
be specified in the molecule file. See the <a class="reference internal" href="molecule.html"><em>molecule</em></a>
|
|
command for details. The only settings required to be in this file
|
|
are the coordinates and types of atoms in the molecule.</p>
|
|
<p>When not using the <em>mol</em> keyword, you should ensure you do not delete
|
|
atoms that are bonded to other atoms, or LAMMPS will
|
|
soon generate an error when it tries to find bonded neighbors. LAMMPS will
|
|
warn you if any of the atoms eligible for deletion have a non-zero
|
|
molecule ID, but does not check for this at the time of deletion.</p>
|
|
<p>If you wish to insert molecules via the <em>mol</em> keyword, that will have
|
|
their bonds or angles constrained via SHAKE, use the <em>shake</em> keyword,
|
|
specifying as its value the ID of a separate <a class="reference internal" href="fix_shake.html"><em>fix shake</em></a> command which also appears in your input script.</p>
|
|
<p>Optionally, users may specify the maximum rotation angle for
|
|
molecular rotations using the <em>maxangle</em> keyword and specifying
|
|
the angle in degrees. Rotations are performed by generating a random
|
|
point on the unit sphere and a random rotation angle on the
|
|
range [0,maxangle). The molecule is then rotated by that angle about an
|
|
axis passing through the molecule center of mass. The axis is parallel
|
|
to the unit vector defined by the point on the unit sphere.
|
|
The same procedure is used for randomly rotating molecules when they
|
|
are inserted, except that the maximum angle is 360 degrees.</p>
|
|
<p>Note that fix GCMC does not use configurational bias
|
|
MC or any other kind of sampling of intramolecular degrees of freedom.
|
|
Inserted molecules can have different orientations, but they will all
|
|
have the same intramolecular configuration,
|
|
which was specified in the molecule command input.</p>
|
|
<p>For atomic gasses, inserted atoms have the specified atom type, but
|
|
deleted atoms are any atoms that have been inserted or that belong
|
|
to the user-specified fix group. For molecular gasses, exchanged
|
|
molecules use the same atom types as in the template molecule
|
|
supplied by the user. In both cases, exchanged
|
|
atoms/molecules are assigned to two groups: the default group “all”
|
|
and the group specified in the fix gcmc command (which can also be
|
|
“all”).</p>
|
|
<p>The gas reservoir pressure can be specified using the <em>pressure</em>
|
|
keyword, in which case the user-specified chemical potential is
|
|
ignored. For non-ideal gas reservoirs, the user may also specify the
|
|
fugacity coefficient using the <em>fugacity_coeff</em> keyword.</p>
|
|
<p>The <em>full_energy</em> option means that fix GCMC will compute the total
|
|
potential energy of the entire simulated system. The total system
|
|
energy before and after the proposed GCMC move is then used in the
|
|
Metropolis criterion to determine whether or not to accept the
|
|
proposed GCMC move. By default, this option is off, in which case
|
|
only partial energies are computed to determine the difference in
|
|
energy that would be caused by the proposed GCMC move.</p>
|
|
<p>The <em>full_energy</em> option is needed for systems with complicated
|
|
potential energy calculations, including the following:</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li>long-range electrostatics (kspace)</li>
|
|
<li>many-body pair styles</li>
|
|
<li>hybrid pair styles</li>
|
|
<li>eam pair styles</li>
|
|
<li>triclinic systems</li>
|
|
<li>need to include potential energy contributions from other fixes</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>In these cases, LAMMPS will automatically apply the <em>full_energy</em>
|
|
keyword and issue a warning message.</p>
|
|
<p>When the <em>mol</em> keyword is used, the <em>full_energy</em> option also includes
|
|
the intramolecular energy of inserted and deleted molecules. If this
|
|
is not desired, the <em>intra_energy</em> keyword can be used to define an
|
|
amount of energy that is subtracted from the final energy when a molecule
|
|
is inserted, and added to the initial energy when a molecule is
|
|
deleted. For molecules that have a non-zero intramolecular energy, this
|
|
will ensure roughly the same behavior whether or not the <em>full_energy</em>
|
|
option is used.</p>
|
|
<p>Inserted atoms and molecules are assigned random velocities based on the
|
|
specified temperature T. Because the relative velocity of
|
|
all atoms in the molecule is zero, this may result in inserted molecules
|
|
that are systematically too cold. In addition, the intramolecular potential
|
|
energy of the inserted molecule may cause the kinetic energy
|
|
of the molecule to quickly increase or decrease after insertion.
|
|
The <em>tfac_insert</em> keyword allows the user to counteract these effects
|
|
by changing the temperature used to assign velocities to
|
|
inserted atoms and molecules by a constant factor. For a
|
|
particular application, some experimentation may be required
|
|
to find a value of <em>tfac_insert</em> that results in inserted molecules that
|
|
equilibrate quickly to the correct temperature.</p>
|
|
<p>Some fixes have an associated potential energy. Examples of such fixes
|
|
include: <a class="reference internal" href="fix_efield.html"><em>efield</em></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="fix_gravity.html"><em>gravity</em></a>,
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="fix_addforce.html"><em>addforce</em></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="fix_langevin.html"><em>langevin</em></a>,
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="fix_restrain.html"><em>restrain</em></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="fix_temp_berendsen.html"><em>temp/berendsen</em></a>,
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="fix_temp_rescale.html"><em>temp/rescale</em></a>, and <a class="reference internal" href="fix_wall.html"><em>wall fixes</em></a>.
|
|
For that energy to be included in the total potential energy of the
|
|
system (the quantity used when performing GCMC moves),
|
|
you MUST enable the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_modify.html"><em>fix_modify</em></a> <em>energy</em> option for
|
|
that fix. The doc pages for individual <a class="reference internal" href="fix.html"><em>fix</em></a> commands
|
|
specify if this should be done.</p>
|
|
<p>Use the <em>charge</em> option to insert atoms with a user-specified point
|
|
charge. Note that doing so will cause the system to become non-neutral.
|
|
LAMMPS issues a warning when using long-range electrostatics (kspace)
|
|
with non-neutral systems. See the
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="compute_group_group.html"><em>compute_group_group</em></a> documentation for more
|
|
details about simulating non-neutral systems with kspace on.</p>
|
|
<p>Use of this fix typically will cause the number of atoms to fluctuate,
|
|
therefore, you will want to use the
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="compute_modify.html"><em>compute_modify</em></a> command to insure that the
|
|
current number of atoms is used as a normalizing factor each time
|
|
temperature is computed. Here is the necessary command:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>compute_modify thermo_temp dynamic yes
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>If LJ units are used, note that a value of 0.18292026 is used by this
|
|
fix as the reduced value for Planck’s constant. This value was
|
|
derived from LJ parameters for argon, where h* = h/sqrt(sigma^2 *
|
|
epsilon * mass), sigma = 3.429 angstroms, epsilon/k = 121.85 K, and
|
|
mass = 39.948 amu.</p>
|
|
<p>The <em>group</em> keyword assigns all inserted atoms to the <a class="reference internal" href="group.html"><em>group</em></a>
|
|
of the group-ID value. The <em>grouptype</em> keyword assigns all
|
|
inserted atoms of the specified type to the <a class="reference internal" href="group.html"><em>group</em></a>
|
|
of the group-ID value.</p>

<p>This fix writes the state of the fix to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><em>binary restart files</em></a>. This includes information about the random
|
|
number generator seed, the next timestep for MC exchanges, etc. See
|
|
the <a class="reference internal" href="read_restart.html"><em>read_restart</em></a> command for info on how to
|
|
re-specify a fix in an input script that reads a restart file, so that
|
|
the operation of the fix continues in an uninterrupted fashion.</p>
|
|
<p>None of the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_modify.html"><em>fix_modify</em></a> options are relevant to this
|
|
fix.</p>
|
|
<p>This fix computes a global vector of length 8, which can be accessed
|
|
by various <a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-15"><span>output commands</span></a>. The vector
|
|
values are the following global cumulative quantities:</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li>1 = translation attempts</li>
|
|
<li>2 = translation successes</li>
|
|
<li>3 = insertion attempts</li>
|
|
<li>4 = insertion successes</li>
|
|
<li>5 = deletion attempts</li>
|
|
<li>6 = deletion successes</li>
|
|
<li>7 = rotation attempts</li>
|
|
<li>8 = rotation successes</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The vector values calculated by this fix are “extensive”.</p>
|
|
<p>No parameter of this fix can be used with the <em>start/stop</em> keywords of
|
|
the <a class="reference internal" href="run.html"><em>run</em></a> command. This fix is not invoked during <a class="reference internal" href="minimize.html"><em>energy minimization</em></a>.</p>

|
<p>This fix is part of the MC package. It is only enabled if LAMMPS was
|
|
built with that package. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span>Making LAMMPS</span></a> section for more info.</p>
|
|
<p>Do not set “neigh_modify once yes” or else this fix will never be
|
|
called. Reneighboring is required.</p>
|
|
<p>Can be run in parallel, but aspects of the GCMC part will not scale
|
|
well in parallel. Only usable for 3D simulations.</p>
|
|
<p>Note that very lengthy simulations involving insertions/deletions of
|
|
billions of gas molecules may run out of atom or molecule IDs and
|
|
trigger an error, so it is better to run multiple shorter-duration
|
|
simulations. Likewise, very large molecules have not been tested
|
|
and may turn out to be problematic.</p>
|
|
<p>Use of multiple fix gcmc commands in the same input script can be
|
|
problematic if using a template molecule. The issue is that the
|
|
user-referenced template molecule in the second fix gcmc command
|
|
may no longer exist since it might have been deleted by the first
|
|
fix gcmc command. An existing template molecule will need to be
|
|
referenced by the user for each subsequent fix gcmc command.</p>
