[Examples:]

|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
The {meam/sw/spline} style computes pairwise interactions for metals
|
|
using a variant of modified embedded-atom method (MEAM)
|
|
potentials "(Lenosky)"_#Lenosky with an additional Stillinger-Weber (SW)
|
|
term "(Stillinger)"_#Stillinger in the energy. This form of the
|
|
potential was first proposed
|
|
by Nicklas, Fellinger, and Park "(Nicklas)"_#Nicklas.
|
|
We refer to it as MEAM+SW. The total energy E is given by
|
|
|
|
:c,image(pair_meam_sw_spline.jpg)
|
|
|
|
where rho_I is the density at atom I, theta_JIK is the angle between
|
|
atoms J, I, and K centered on atom I. The seven functions
|
|
Phi, F, G, U, rho, f, and g are represented by cubic splines.
|
|
|
|
The cutoffs and the coefficients for these spline functions are listed
|
|
in a parameter file which is specified by the "pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html
|
|
command. Parameter files for different elements are
|
|
included in the "potentials" directory of the LAMMPS distribution and
|
|
have a ".meam.sw.spline" file suffix.
|
|
All of these files are parameterized in terms of
|
|
LAMMPS "metal units"_units.html.
|
|
|
|
Note that unlike for other potentials, cutoffs for spline-based
|
|
MEAM+SW potentials are not set in the pair_style or pair_coeff
|
|
command; they are specified in the potential files themselves.
|
|
|
|
Unlike the EAM pair style, which retrieves the atomic mass from
|
|
the potential file, the spline-based MEAM+SW potentials do not include
|
|
mass information; thus you need to use the "mass"_mass.html
|
|
command to specify it.
|
|
|
|
Only a single pair_coeff command is used with the meam/sw/spline style
|
|
which specifies a 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:
|
|
|
|
filename
|
|
N element names = mapping of spline-based MEAM+SW elements to atom types :ul
|
|
|
|
As an example, imagine the Ti.meam.sw.spline file has values for Ti.
|
|
If your LAMMPS simulation has 3 atoms types and they are all to be
|
|
treated with this potential, you would use the following pair_coeff command:
|
|
|
|
pair_coeff * * Ti.meam.sw.spline Ti Ti Ti
|
|
|
|
The 1st 2 arguments must be * * so as to span all LAMMPS atom types.
|
|
The three Ti arguments map LAMMPS atom types 1,2,3 to the Ti element
|
|
in the potential file. If a mapping value is specified as NULL, the
|
|
mapping is not performed. This can be used when a {meam/sw/spline}
|
|
potential is used as part of the hybrid pair style. The NULL values
|
|
are placeholders for atom types that will be used with other potentials.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: The {meam/sw/spline} style currently supports only
|
|
single-element MEAM+SW potentials. It may be extended for alloy systems
|
|
in the future.

|
|
[Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info]:
|
|
|
|
The pair style does not support multiple element types or mixing.
|
|
It has been designed for pure elements only.
|
|
|
|
This pair style does not support the "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html
|
|
shift, table, and tail options.
|
|
|
|
The {meam/sw/spline} pair style does not write its information to
|
|
"binary restart files"_restart.html, since it is stored in an external
|
|
potential parameter file. Thus, you need to re-specify the pair_style
|
|
and pair_coeff commands in an input script that reads a restart file.
|
|
|
|
The {meam/sw/spline} pair style can only be used via the {pair} keyword of the
|
|
"run_style respa"_run_style.html command. They do not support the
|
|
{inner}, {middle}, {outer} keywords.
|

|
|
|
|
[Restrictions:]
|
|
|
|
This pair style requires the "newton"_newton.html setting to be "on"
|
|
for pair interactions.
|
|
|
|
This pair style is only enabled if LAMMPS was built with the USER-MISC package.
|
|
