</P>
|
|
<P>Calculate the dynamical matrix from molecular dynamics simulations
|
|
based on fluctuation-dissipation theory for a group of atoms.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Consider a crystal with <I>N</I> unit cells in three dimensions labelled <I>l
|
|
= (l<sub>1</sub>,l<sub>2</sub>,l<sub>3</sub>)</I> where <I>l<sub>i</sub></I>
|

are integers. Each unit cell is defined by three linearly independent

vectors <B>a</B><sub>1</sub>, <B>a</B><sub>2</sub>, <B>a</B><sub>3</sub> forming a
|
|
parallelipiped, containing <I>K</I> basis atoms labelled <I>k</I>.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Based on fluctuation-dissipation theory, the force constant

coefficients of the system in reciprocal space are given by

formula,

</P>
|

<center><b>G</b><sub>kα,k'β</sub>(<b>q</b>) =

<<b>R</b><sub>kα</sub>(<b>q</b>)•<b>R</b><sup>*</sup><sub>k'β</sub>(<b>q</b>)>

</center>
|

|
|
<P>where <B>R</B> is the instantaneous positions of atoms, and <<B>R</B>> is the
|
|
averaged atomic positions. It gives essentially the same results as
|
|
the displacement method and is easier to implement in an MD code.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Once the force constant matrix is known, the dynamical matrix <B>D</B> can

then be obtained by

|
</P>
|

<center><b>D</b><sub>kα, k'β</sub>(<b>q</b>) = (m<sub>k</sub>m<sub>k'</sub>)<sup>-1/2</sup> <b>Φ</b><sub>kα,k'β</sub>(<b>q</b>)</center>
|
|
|
|
<P>whose eigenvalues are exactly the phonon frequencies at <B>q</B>.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This fix uses positions of atoms in the specified group and calculates
|
|
two-point correlations. To achieve this. the positions of the atoms
|
|
are examined every <I>Nevery</I> steps and are Fourier-transformed into
|
|
reciprocal space, where the averaging process and correlation
|
|
computation is then done. After every <I>Noutput</I> measurements, the
|
|
matrix <B>G</B>(<B>q</B>) is calculated and inverted to obtain the elastic
|
|
stiffness coefficients. The dynamical matrices are then constructed
|
|
and written to <I>prefix</I>.bin.timestep files in binary format and to the
|
|
file <I>prefix</I>.log for each wavevector <B>q</B>.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>A detailed description of this method can be found in
|
|
(<A HREF = "#Kong2011">Kong2011</A>).
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The <I>sysdim</I> keyword is optional. If specified with a value smaller
|
|
than the dimensionality of the LAMMPS simulation, its value is used
|
|
for the dynamical matrix calculation. For example, using LAMMPS ot
|
|
model a 2D or 3D system, the phonon dispersion of a 1D atomic chain
|
|
can be computed using <I>sysdim</I> = 1.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The <I>nasr</I> keyword is optional. An iterative procedure is employed to
|
|
enforce the acoustic sum rule on Φ at Γ, and the number
|
|
provided by keyword <I>nasr</I> gives the total number of iterations. For a
|
|
system whose unit cell has only one atom, <I>nasr</I> = 1 is sufficient;
|
|
for other systems, <I>nasr</I> = 10 is typically sufficient.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The <I>map_file</I> contains the mapping information between the lattice
|
|
indices and the atom IDs, which tells the code which atom sits at
|
|
which lattice point; the lattice indices start from 0. An auxiliary
|
|
code, <A HREF = "http://code.google.com/p/latgen">latgen</A>, can be employed to
|
|
generate the compatible map file for various crystals.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>In case one simulates an aperiodic system, where the whole simulation box
|
|
is treated as a unit cell, one can set <I>map_file</I> as <I>GAMMA</I>, so that the mapping
|
|
info will be generated internally and a file is not needed. In this case, the
|
|
dynamical matrix at only the gamma-point will/can be evaluated. Please keep in
|
|
mind that fix-phonon is designed for cyrstals, it will be inefficient and
|
|
even degrade the performance of lammps in case the unit cell is too large.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The calculated dynamical matrix elements are written out in
|
|
<A HREF = "units.html">energy/distance^2/mass</A> units. The coordinates for <I>q</I>
|
|
points in the log file is in the units of the basis vectors of the
|
|
corresponding reciprocal lattice.

</P>
|
|
<P>The <A HREF = "fix_modify.html">fix_modify</A> <I>temp</I> option is supported by this
|
|
fix. You can use it to change the temperature compute from thermo_temp
|
|
to the one that reflects the true temperature of atoms in the group.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>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>.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Instead, this fix outputs its initialization information (including
|
|
mapping information) and the calculated dynamical matrices to the file
|
|
<I>prefix</I>.log, with the specified <I>prefix</I>. The dynamical matrices are
|
|
also written to files <I>prefix</I>.bin.timestep in binary format. These
|
|
can be read by the post-processing tool in tools/phonon to compute the
|
|
phonon density of states and/or phonon dispersion curves.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>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>
|
|
<P>This fix is not invoked during <A HREF = "minimize.html">energy minimization</A>.

</P>
|
|
<P><B>Restrictions:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This fix assumes a crystalline system with periodical lattice. The
|
|
temperature of the system should not exceed the melting temperature to
|
|
keep the system in its solid state.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This fix is part of the USER-PHONON package. It is only enabled if
|
|
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_3">Making
|
|
LAMMPS</A> section for more info.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This fix requires LAMMPS be built with an FFT library. See the
