<h2>Description</h2>
|
|
<p>The <em>tersoff/zbl</em> style computes a 3-body Tersoff potential
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="#tersoff-1"><span class="std std-ref">(Tersoff_1)</span></a> with a close-separation pairwise modification
|
|
based on a Coulomb potential and the Ziegler-Biersack-Littmark
|
|
universal screening function <a class="reference internal" href="#zbl"><span class="std std-ref">(ZBL)</span></a>, giving the energy E of a
|
|
system of atoms as</p>
|
|
<img alt="_images/pair_tersoff_zbl.jpg" class="align-center" src="_images/pair_tersoff_zbl.jpg" />
|
|
<p>The f_F term is a fermi-like function used to smoothly connect the ZBL
|
|
repulsive potential with the Tersoff potential. There are 2
|
|
parameters used to adjust it: A_F and r_C. A_F controls how “sharp”
|
|
the transition is between the two, and r_C is essentially the cutoff
|
|
for the ZBL potential.</p>
|
|
<p>For the ZBL portion, there are two terms. The first is the Coulomb
|
|
repulsive term, with Z1, Z2 as the number of protons in each nucleus,
|
|
e as the electron charge (1 for metal and real units) and epsilon0 as
|
|
the permittivity of vacuum. The second part is the ZBL universal
|
|
screening function, with a0 being the Bohr radius (typically 0.529
|
|
Angstroms), and the remainder of the coefficients provided by the
|
|
original paper. This screening function should be applicable to most
|
|
systems. However, it is only accurate for small separations
|
|
(i.e. less than 1 Angstrom).</p>
|
|
<p>For the Tersoff portion, f_R is a two-body term and f_A includes
|
|
three-body interactions. The summations in the formula are over all
|
|
neighbors J and K of atom I within a cutoff distance = R + D.</p>
|
|
<p>Only a single pair_coeff command is used with the <em>tersoff/zbl</em> style
|
|
which specifies a Tersoff/ZBL potential file with parameters for all
|
|
needed elements. These are mapped to LAMMPS atom types by specifying
|
|
N additional arguments after the filename in the pair_coeff command,
|
|
where N is the number of LAMMPS atom types:</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li>filename</li>
|
|
<li>N element names = mapping of Tersoff/ZBL elements to atom types</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>See the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_coeff.html"><span class="doc">pair_coeff</span></a> doc page for alternate ways
|
|
to specify the path for the potential file.</p>
|
|
<p>As an example, imagine the SiC.tersoff.zbl file has Tersoff/ZBL values
|
|
for Si and C. If your LAMMPS simulation has 4 atoms types and you
|
|
want the 1st 3 to be Si, and the 4th to be C, you would use the
|
|
following pair_coeff command:</p>
|
|
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">pair_coeff</span> <span class="o">*</span> <span class="o">*</span> <span class="n">SiC</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">tersoff</span> <span class="n">Si</span> <span class="n">Si</span> <span class="n">Si</span> <span class="n">C</span>
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
</div>
|
|
<p>The 1st 2 arguments must be * * so as to span all LAMMPS atom types.
|
|
The first three Si arguments map LAMMPS atom types 1,2,3 to the Si
|
|
element in the Tersoff/ZBL file. The final C argument maps LAMMPS
|
|
atom type 4 to the C element in the Tersoff/ZBL file. If a mapping
|
|
value is specified as NULL, the mapping is not performed. This can be
|
|
used when a <em>tersoff/zbl</em> potential is used as part of the <em>hybrid</em>
|
|
pair style. The NULL values are placeholders for atom types that will
|
|
be used with other potentials.</p>
|
|
<p>Tersoff/ZBL files in the <em>potentials</em> directory of the LAMMPS
|
|
distribution have a ”.tersoff.zbl” suffix. Lines that are not blank
|
|
or comments (starting with #) define parameters for a triplet of
|
|
elements. The parameters in a single entry correspond to coefficients
|
|
in the formula above:</p>
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
|
<li>element 1 (the center atom in a 3-body interaction)</li>
|
|
<li>element 2 (the atom bonded to the center atom)</li>
|
|
<li>element 3 (the atom influencing the 1-2 bond in a bond-order sense)</li>
|
|
<li>m</li>
|
|
<li>gamma</li>
|
|
<li>lambda3 (1/distance units)</li>
|
|
<li>c</li>
|
|
<li>d</li>
|
|
<li>costheta0 (can be a value < -1 or > 1)</li>
|
|
<li>n</li>
|
|
<li>beta</li>
|
|
<li>lambda2 (1/distance units)</li>
|
|
<li>B (energy units)</li>
|
|
<li>R (distance units)</li>
|
|
<li>D (distance units)</li>
|
|
<li>lambda1 (1/distance units)</li>
|
|
<li>A (energy units)</li>
|
|
<li>Z_i</li>
|
|
<li>Z_j</li>
|
|
<li>ZBLcut (distance units)</li>
|
|
<li>ZBLexpscale (1/distance units)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>The n, beta, lambda2, B, lambda1, and A parameters are only used for
|
|
two-body interactions. The m, gamma, lambda3, c, d, and costheta0
|
|
parameters are only used for three-body interactions. The R and D
|
|
parameters are used for both two-body and three-body interactions. The
|
|
Z_i,Z_j, ZBLcut, ZBLexpscale parameters are used in the ZBL repulsive
|
|
portion of the potential and in the Fermi-like function. The
|
|
non-annotated parameters are unitless. The value of m must be 3 or 1.</p>
|
|
<p>The Tersoff/ZBL potential file must contain entries for all the
|
|
elements listed in the pair_coeff command. It can also contain
|
|
entries for additional elements not being used in a particular
|
|
simulation; LAMMPS ignores those entries.</p>
|
|
<p>For a single-element simulation, only a single entry is required
|
|
(e.g. SiSiSi). For a two-element simulation, the file must contain 8
|
|
entries (for SiSiSi, SiSiC, SiCSi, SiCC, CSiSi, CSiC, CCSi, CCC), that
|
|
specify Tersoff parameters for all permutations of the two elements
|
|
interacting in three-body configurations. Thus for 3 elements, 27
|
|
entries would be required, etc.</p>
|
|
<p>As annotated above, the first element in the entry is the center atom
|
|
in a three-body interaction and it is bonded to the 2nd atom and the
|
|
bond is influenced by the 3rd atom. Thus an entry for SiCC means Si
|
|
bonded to a C with another C atom influencing the bond. Thus
|
|
three-body parameters for SiCSi and SiSiC entries will not, in
|
|
general, be the same. The parameters used for the two-body
|
|
interaction come from the entry where the 2nd element is repeated.
|
|
Thus the two-body parameters for Si interacting with C, comes from the
|
|
SiCC entry.</p>
|
|
<p>The parameters used for a particular
|
|
three-body interaction come from the entry with the corresponding
|
|
three elements. The parameters used only for two-body interactions
|
|
(n, beta, lambda2, B, lambda1, and A) in entries whose 2nd and 3rd
|
|
element are different (e.g. SiCSi) are not used for anything and can
|
|
be set to 0.0 if desired.</p>
|
|
<p>Note that the twobody parameters in entries such as SiCC and CSiSi
|
|
are often the same, due to the common use of symmetric mixing rules,
|
|
but this is not always the case. For example, the beta and n parameters in
|
|
Tersoff_2 <a class="reference internal" href="#tersoff-2"><span class="std std-ref">(Tersoff_2)</span></a> are not symmetric.</p>
|
|
<p>We chose the above form so as to enable users to define all commonly
|
|
used variants of the Tersoff portion of the potential. In particular,
|
|
our form reduces to the original Tersoff form when m = 3 and gamma =
|
|
1, while it reduces to the form of <a class="reference internal" href="#albe"><span class="std std-ref">Albe et al.</span></a> when beta = 1
|
|
and m = 1. Note that in the current Tersoff implementation in LAMMPS,
|
|
m must be specified as either 3 or 1. Tersoff used a slightly
|
|
different but equivalent form for alloys, which we will refer to as
|
|
Tersoff_2 potential <a class="reference internal" href="#tersoff-2"><span class="std std-ref">(Tersoff_2)</span></a>.</p>
|
|
<p>LAMMPS parameter values for Tersoff_2 can be obtained as follows:
|
|
gamma = omega_ijk, lambda3 = 0 and the value of
|
|
m has no effect. The parameters for species i and j can be calculated
|
|
using the Tersoff_2 mixing rules:</p>
|
|
<img alt="_images/pair_tersoff_2.jpg" class="align-center" src="_images/pair_tersoff_2.jpg" />
|
|
<p>Tersoff_2 parameters R and S must be converted to the LAMMPS
|
|
parameters R and D (R is different in both forms), using the following
|
|
relations: R=(R’+S’)/2 and D=(S’-R’)/2, where the primes indicate the
|
|
Tersoff_2 parameters.</p>
|
|
<p>In the potentials directory, the file SiCGe.tersoff provides the
|
|
LAMMPS parameters for Tersoff’s various versions of Si, as well as his
|
|
alloy parameters for Si, C, and Ge. This file can be used for pure Si,
|
|
(three different versions), pure C, pure Ge, binary SiC, and binary
|
|
SiGe. LAMMPS will generate an error if this file is used with any
|
|
combination involving C and Ge, since there are no entries for the GeC
|
|
interactions (Tersoff did not publish parameters for this
|
|
cross-interaction.) Tersoff files are also provided for the SiC alloy
|
|
(SiC.tersoff) and the GaN (GaN.tersoff) alloys.</p>
|
|
<p>Many thanks to Rutuparna Narulkar, David Farrell, and Xiaowang Zhou
|
|
for helping clarify how Tersoff parameters for alloys have been
|
|
defined in various papers. Also thanks to Ram Devanathan for
|
|
providing the base ZBL implementation.</p>

<p>Styles with a <em>cuda</em>, <em>gpu</em>, <em>intel</em>, <em>kk</em>, <em>omp</em>, or <em>opt</em> suffix are
|
|
functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix.
|
|
They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available
|
|
hardware, as discussed in <a class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><span class="doc">Section_accelerate</span></a>
|
|
of the manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and
|
|
should produce the same results, except for round-off and precision
|
|
issues.</p>
|
|
<p>These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA, GPU, USER-INTEL,
|
|
KOKKOS, USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only
|
|
enabled if LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span class="std std-ref">Making LAMMPS</span></a> section for more info.</p>
|
|
<p>You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
|
|
by including their suffix, or you can use the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-7"><span class="std std-ref">-suffix command-line switch</span></a> when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
|
|
use the <a class="reference internal" href="suffix.html"><span class="doc">suffix</span></a> command in your input script.</p>
|
|
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><span class="doc">Section_accelerate</span></a> of the manual for
|
|
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.</p>

<p><strong>Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info</strong>:</p>
|
|
<p>For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, where types I and J correspond to
|
|
two different element types, mixing is performed by LAMMPS as
|
|
described above from values in the potential file.</p>
|
|
<p>This pair style does not support the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><span class="doc">pair_modify</span></a>
|
|
shift, table, and tail options.</p>
|
|
<p>This pair style does not write its information to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><span class="doc">binary restart files</span></a>, since it is stored in potential files. Thus, you
|
|
need to re-specify the pair_style and pair_coeff commands in an input
|
|
script that reads a restart file.</p>
|
|
<p>This pair style can only be used via the <em>pair</em> keyword of the
|
|
<a class="reference internal" href="run_style.html"><span class="doc">run_style respa</span></a> command. It does not support the
|
|
<em>inner</em>, <em>middle</em>, <em>outer</em> keywords.</p>

<h2>Restrictions</h2>

<p>This pair style is part of the MANYBODY package. It is only enabled

if LAMMPS was built with that package (which it is by default). See
|
|
the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span class="std std-ref">Making LAMMPS</span></a> section for more info.</p>
|
|
<p>This pair style requires the <a class="reference internal" href="newton.html"><span class="doc">newton</span></a> setting to be “on”

|
|
<p>The Tersoff/ZBL potential files provided with LAMMPS (see the

potentials directory) are parameterized for metal <a class="reference internal" href="units.html"><span class="doc">units</span></a>.
|
|
You can use the Tersoff potential with any LAMMPS units, but you would
|

need to create your own Tersoff potential file with coefficients
|
|
listed in the appropriate units if your simulation doesn’t use “metal”
|
|
units.</p>
