</P>
|
|
<P>Style <I>reax/c</I> computes the ReaxFF potential of van Duin, Goddard and
|
|
co-workers. ReaxFF uses distance-dependent bond-order functions to
|
|
represent the contributions of chemical bonding to the potential
|
|
energy. There is more than one version of ReaxFF. The version
|
|
implemented in LAMMPS uses the functional forms documented in the
|
|
supplemental information of the following paper: <A HREF = "#Chenoweth_2008">(Chenoweth et al.,
|
|
2008)</A>. The version integrated into LAMMPS matches
|
|
the most up-to-date version of ReaxFF as of summer 2010. For more
|
|
technical details about the pair reax/c implementation of ReaxFF, see
|
|
the <A HREF = "#Aktulga">(Aktulga)</A> paper.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The <I>reax/c</I> style differs from the <A HREF = "pair_reax.html">pair_style reax</A>
|
|
command in the lo-level implementation details. The <I>reax</I> style is a
|
|
Fortran library, linked to LAMMPS. The <I>reax/c</I> style was initially
|
|
implemented as stand-alone C code and is now integrated into LAMMPS as
|
|
a package.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>LAMMPS provides several different versions of ffield.reax in its
|
|
potentials dir, each called potentials/ffield.reax.label. These are
|
|
documented in potentials/README.reax. The default ffield.reax
|
|
contains parameterizations for the following elements: C, H, O, N, S.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The format of these files is identical to that used originally by van
|
|
Duin. We have tested the accuracy of <I>pair_style reax/c</I> potential
|
|
against the original ReaxFF code for the systems mentioned above. You
|
|
can use other ffield files for specific chemical systems that may be
|
|
available elsewhere (but note that their accuracy may not have been
|
|
tested).
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: We do not distribute a wide variety of ReaxFF force
|
|
field files with LAMMPS. Adri van Duin's group at PSU is the central
|
|
repository for this kind of data as they are continuously deriving and
|
|
updating parameterizations for different classes of materials. You
|
|
can visit their WWW site at
|
|
<A HREF = "http://www.engr.psu.edu/adri">http://www.engr.psu.edu/adri</A>, register
|
|
as a "new user", and then submit a request to their group describing
|
|
material(s) you are interested in modeling with ReaxFF. They can tell
|
|
you what is currently available or what it would take to create a
|
|
suitable ReaxFF parameterization.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The <I>cfile</I> setting can be specified as NULL, in which case default
|
|
settings are used. A control file can be specified which defines
|
|
values of control variables. Some control variables are
|
|
global parameters for the ReaxFF potential. Others define certain
|
|
performance and output settings.
|
|
Each line in the control file specifies the value for
|
|
a control variable. The format of the control file is described
|
|
below.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: The LAMMPS default values for the ReaxFF global parameters
|
|
correspond to those used by
|
|
Adri van Duin's stand-alone serial code. If these are changed by
|
|
setting control variables in the control file, the results from
|
|
LAMMPS and the serial code will not agree.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Two examples using <I>pair_style reax/c</I> are provided in the examples/reax
|
|
sub-directory, along with corresponding examples for
|
|
<A HREF = "pair_reax.html">pair_style reax</A>.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Use of this pair style requires that a charge be defined for every
|
|
atom. See the <A HREF = "atom_style.html">atom_style</A> and
|
|
<A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> commands for details on how to specify
|
|
charges.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The ReaxFF parameter files provided were created using a charge
|
|
equilibration (QEq) model for handling the electrostatic interactions.
|
|
Therefore, by default, LAMMPS requires that the <A HREF = "fix_qeq_reax.html">fix
|
|
qeq/reax</A> command be used with <I>pair_style reax/c</I>
|
|
when simulating a ReaxFF model, to equilibrate charge each timestep.
|
|
Using the keyword <I>checkqeq</I> with the value <I>no</I>
|
|
turns off the check for <I>fix qeq/reax</I>,
|
|
allowing a simulation to be run without charge equilibration.
|
|
In this case, the static charges you
|
|
assign to each atom will be used for computing the electrostatic
|
|
interactions in the system.
|
|
See the <A HREF = "fix_qeq_reax.html">fix qeq/reax</A> command for details.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Using the optional keyword <I>lgvdw</I> with the value <I>yes</I> turns on
|
|
the low-gradient correction of the ReaxFF/C for long-range
|
|
London Dispersion, as described in the <A HREF = "#Liu_2011">(Liu)</A> paper. Force field
|
|
file <I>ffield.reax.lg</I> is designed for this correction, and is trained
|
|
for several energetic materials (see "Liu"). When using lg-correction,
|
|
recommended value for parameter <I>thb</I> is 0.01, which can be set in the
|
|
control file. Note: Force field files are different for the original
|
|
or lg corrected pair styles, using wrong ffield file generates an error message.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Optional keywords <I>safezone</I> and <I>mincap</I> are used for allocating
|
|
reax/c arrays. Increase these values can avoid memory problems, such
|
|
as segmentation faults and bondchk failed errors, that could occur under
|
|
certain conditions.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The thermo variable <I>evdwl</I> stores the sum of all the ReaxFF potential
|
|
energy contributions, with the exception of the Coulombic and charge
|
|
equilibration contributions which are stored in the thermo variable
|
|
<I>ecoul</I>. The output of these quantities is controlled by the
|
|
<A HREF = "thermo.html">thermo</A> command.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This pair style tallies a breakdown of the total ReaxFF potential
|
|
energy into sub-categories, which can be accessed via the <A HREF = "compute_pair.html">compute
|
|
pair</A> command as a vector of values of length 14.
|
|
The 14 values correspond to the following sub-categories (the variable
|
|
names in italics match those used in the original FORTRAN ReaxFF code):
|
|
</P>
|
|
<OL><LI><I>eb</I> = bond energy
|
|
<LI><I>ea</I> = atom energy
|
|
<LI><I>elp</I> = lone-pair energy
|
|
<LI><I>emol</I> = molecule energy (always 0.0)
|
|
<LI><I>ev</I> = valence angle energy
|
|
<LI><I>epen</I> = double-bond valence angle penalty
|
|
<LI><I>ecoa</I> = valence angle conjugation energy
|
|
<LI><I>ehb</I> = hydrogen bond energy
|
|
<LI><I>et</I> = torsion energy
|
|
<LI><I>eco</I> = conjugation energy
|
|
<LI><I>ew</I> = van der Waals energy
|
|
<LI><I>ep</I> = Coulomb energy
|
|
<LI><I>efi</I> = electric field energy (always 0.0)
|
|
<LI><I>eqeq</I> = charge equilibration energy
|
|
</OL>
|
|
<P>To print these quantities to the log file (with descriptive column
|
|
headings) the following commands could be included in an input script:
|
|
</P>
|

|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P>Only a single pair_coeff command is used with the <I>reax/c</I> style which
|
|
specifies a ReaxFF 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><LI>filename
|
|
<LI>N indices = mapping of ReaxFF elements to atom types
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>The filename is the ReaxFF potential file. Unlike for the <I>reax</I>
|
|
pair style, any filename can be used.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>In the ReaxFF potential file, near the top, after the general
|
|
parameters, is the atomic parameters section that contains element
|
|
names, each with a couple dozen numeric parameters. If there are M
|
|
elements specified in the <I>ffield</I> file, think of these as numbered 1
|
|
to M. Each of the N indices you specify for the N atom types of LAMMPS
|
|
atoms must be an integer from 1 to M. Atoms with LAMMPS type 1 will
|
|
be mapped to whatever element you specify as the first index value,
|
|
etc. If a mapping value is specified as NULL, the mapping is not
|
|
performed. This can be used when the <I>reax/c</I> style is used as part
|
|
of the <I>hybrid</I> pair style. The NULL values are placeholders for atom
|
|
types that will be used with other potentials.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: Currently the reax/c pair style cannot be used as part
|
|
of the <I>hybrid</I> pair style. Some additional work still need to be
|
|
done to enable this.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>As an example, say your LAMMPS simulation has 4 atom types and the
|
|
elements are ordered as C, H, O, N in the <I>ffield</I> file. If you want
|
|
the LAMMPS atom type 1 and 2 to be C, type 3 to be N, and type 4 to be
|
|
H, you would use the following pair_coeff command:
|
|

<P>The format of a line in the control file is as follows:
|
|
</P>
|
|
<PRE>variable_name value
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P>and it may be followed by an "!" character and a trailing comment.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>If the value of a control variable is not specified, then default
|
|
values are used. What follows is the list of variables along with a
|
|
brief description of their use and default values.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>simulation_name: Output files produced by <I>pair_style reax/c</I> carry
|
|
this name + extensions specific to their contents. Partial energies

|
".trj" extension.
|

</P>
|
|
<P>tabulate_long_range: To improve performance, long range interactions
|
|
can optionally be tabulated (0 means no tabulation). Value of this
|
|
variable denotes the size of the long range interaction table. The
|
|
range from 0 to long range cutoff (defined in the <I>ffield</I> file) is
|
|
divided into <I>tabulate_long_range</I> points. Then at the start of
|
|
simulation, we fill in the entries of the long range interaction table
|
|
by computing the energies and forces resulting from van der Waals and
|
|
Coulomb interactions between every possible atom type pairs present in
|
|
the input system. During the simulation we consult to the long range
|
|
interaction table to estimate the energy and forces between a pair of
|
|
atoms. Linear interpolation is used for estimation. (default value =

0)

</P>
|
|
<P>bond_graph_cutoff: is the threshold used in determining what is a
