fix wall/lj126 command :h3
[Syntax:]
fix ID group-ID wall/lj126 style coord epsilon sigma cutoff :pre
ID, group-ID are documented in "fix"_fix.html command
wall/lj126 = 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/lj126 xhi 10.0 1.0 1.0 1.12 :pre
[Description:]
Bound the simulation domain on one of its faces with a Lennard-Jones
wall that interacts with the atoms in the group. The energy E of
wall-particle interactions is given by the 12-6 potential
:c,image(Eqs/pair_lj.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 provides a harder, more
repulsive interaction with the wall than the softer 9-3 potential
provided by the "fix wall/lj93"_fix_wall_lj93.html command.
The wall potential is shifted so that the energy of a wall-particle
interaction is 0.0 at the cutoff distance.
[Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info:]
No information about this fix is written to "binary restart
files"_restart.html.
The "fix_modify"_fix_modify.html {energy} option is supported by this
fix to add the energy of interaction between atoms and the wall to the
system's potential energy as part of "thermodynamic
output"_thermo_style.html.
This fix computes a scalar energy and a 3-vector of forces (on the
wall), which can be accessed by various "output
commands"_Section_howto.html#4_15. The scalar and vector values
calculated by this fix are "extensive", meaning they scale with the
number of atoms in the simulation.
No parameter of this fix can be used with the {start/stop} keywords of
the "run"_run.html command.
The forces due to this fix are imposed during an energy minimization,
invoked by the "minimize"_minimize.html command.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want the atom/wall interaction 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 12/6 wall must be non-periodic.
