fix wall/lj93 command :h3
[Syntax:]
fix ID group-ID wall/lj93 style coord epsilon sigma cutoff :pre
ID, group-ID are documented in "fix"_fix.html command
wall/lj93 = style name of this fix command
style = {xlo} or {xhi} or {ylo} or {yhi} or {zlo} or {zhi}
coord = position of wall
epsilon = Lennard-Jones epsilon for wall-particle interaction
sigma = Lennard-Jones sigma for wall-particle interaction
cutoff = distance from wall at which wall-particle interaction is cut off :ul
[Examples:]
fix wallhi all wall/lj93 xhi 10.0 1.0 1.0 2.5 :pre
[Description:]
Bound the simulation domain with a Lennard-Jones wall that encloses
the atoms. The energy E of a wall-particle interactions is given by
the 9-3 potential
:c,image(Eqs/fix_wall_lj93.jpg)
where {r} is the distance from the particle to the wall {coord}, and
epsilon and sigma are the usual LJ parameters. Rc is the cutoff value
specified in the command. This interaction is derived by integrating
over a 3d half-lattice of Lennard-Jones 12-6 particles. A harder,
more repulsive wall interaction can be computed by using the "fix
wall/lj126"_fix_wall_lj126.html command.
The wall potential is shifted so that the energy of a wall-particle
interaction is 0.0 at the cutoff distance.
This fix makes a contribution to the potential energy of the system
that can be included in thermodynamic output of potential energy using
the "fix_modify energy"_fix_modify.html option. The contribution can
also be printed by itself via the keyword {f_fix-ID} in the
"thermo_style custom"_thermo_style.html command.
The forces due to this fix are also imposed during an energy
minimization, invoked by the "minimize"_minimize.html command. If you
want that energy to be included in the total potential energy of the
system (the quantity being minimized), you must enable the
"fix_modify"_fix_modify.html {energy} option for this fix.
[Restrictions:]
Any dimension (xyz) that has a LJ 9/3 wall must be non-periodic.
