<P>Style <I>meam</I> computes pairwise interactions for a variety of materials

|

<A HREF = "#Baskes">(Baskes)</A>. Conceptually, it is an extension to the original
|
||||
<A HREF = "pair_style_eam.html">EAM potentials</A> which adds angular forces. It is
|
||||
thus suitable for modeling metals and alloys with fcc, bcc, hcp and
|
||||
diamond cubic structures, as well as covalently bonded materials like
|
||||
silicon and carbon.
|

</P>
|

<P>In the MEAM formulation, the total energy E of a system of atoms is

||||
given by:
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<CENTER><IMG SRC = "Eqs/pair_meam.jpg">
|
||||
</CENTER>
|
||||
<P>where F is the embedding energy which is a function of the atomic
|
||||
electron density rho, and phi is a pair potential interaction. The
|
||||
pair interaction is summed over all neighbors J of atom I within the
|
||||
cutoff distance. As with EAM, the multi-body nature of the MEAM
|
||||
potential is a result of the embedding energy term. Details of the
|
||||
computation of the embedding and pair energies, as implemented in
|
||||
LAMMPS, are given in <A HREF = "#Gullet">(Gullet)</A> and references therein.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>The various parameters in the MEAM formulas are listed in two files
|
||||
which are specified by the <A HREF = "pair_coeff.html">pair_coeff</A> command.
|
||||
These are ASCII text files in a format consistent with other MD codes
|
||||
that implement MEAM potentials, such as the serial DYNAMO code and
|
||||
Warp. Several MEAM potential files with parameters for different
|
||||
materials are included in the "potentials" directory of the LAMMPS
|
||||
distribution with a ",meam" suffix. All of these are parameterized in
|
||||
terms of LAMMPS <A HREF = "units.html">metal units</A>.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>Note that unlike for other potentials, cutoffs for MEAM potentials are
|
||||
not set in the pair_style or pair_coeff command; they are specified in
|
||||
the MEAM potential files themselves.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>Only a single pair_coeff command is used with the <I>meam</I> style which
|
||||
specifies two MEAM files and the element(s) to extract information
|
||||
for. The MEAM elements are mapped to LAMMPS atom types by specifying
|
||||
N additional arguments after the 2nd filename in the pair_coeff
|
||||
command, where N is the number of LAMMPS atom types:
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<UL><LI>MEAM library file
|
||||
<LI>Elem1, Elem2, ...
|
||||
<LI>MEAM parameter file
|
||||
<LI>N element names = mapping of MEAM elements to atom types
|
||||
</UL>
|
||||
<P>As an example, the potentials/library.meam file has generic MEAM
|
||||
settings for a variety of elements. The potentials/sic.meam file has
|
||||
specific parameter settings for a Si and C alloy system. 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>
|
||||
<PRE>pair_coeff * * library.meam Si C sic.meam Si Si Si C
|
||||
</PRE>
|
||||
<P>The 1st 2 arguments must be * * so as to span all LAMMPS atom types.
|
||||
The two filenames are for the library and parameter file respectively.
|
||||
The Si and C arguments (between the file names) are the two elements
|
||||
for which info will be extracted from the library file. The first
|
||||
three trailing Si arguments map LAMMPS atom types 1,2,3 to the MEAM Si
|
||||
element. The final C argument maps LAMMPS atom type 4 to the MEAM C
|
||||
element.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>If the 2nd filename is specified as NULL, no parameter file is read,
|
||||
which simply means the generic parameters in the library file are
|
||||
used. Use of the NULL specification for the parameter file is
|
||||
discouraged for systems with more than a single element type
|
||||
(e.g. alloys), since the parameter file is expected to set element
|
||||
interaction terms that are not captured by the information in the
|
||||
library file.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>If a mapping value is specified as NULL, the mapping is not performed.
|
||||
This can be used when a <I>meam</I> potential 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>The MEAM library file provided with LAMMPS has the name
|
||||
potentials/library.meam. It is the "meamf" file used by other MD
|
||||
codes. Aside from blank and comment lines (start with #) which can
|
||||
appear anywhere, it is formatted as a series of entries, each of which
|
||||
has 19 parameters and can span multiple lines:
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>elt, lat, z, ielement, atwt, alpha, b0, b1, b2, b3, alat, esub, asub,
|
||||
t0, t1, t2, t3, rozero, ibar
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>The "elt" and "lat" parameters are text strings, such as elt = Si or
|
||||
Cu and lat = dia or fcc. Because the library file is used by Fortran
|
||||
MD codes, these strings may be enclosed in single quotes, but this is
|
||||
not required. The other numeric parameters match values in the
|
||||
formulas above. The value of the "elt" string is what is used in the
|
||||
pair_coeff command to identify which settings from the library file
|
||||
you wish to read in. There can be multiple entries in the library
|
||||
file with the same "elt" value; LAMMPS reads the 1st matching entry it
|
||||
finds and ignores the rest.
|
||||
</P>
|
||||
<P>If used, the MEAM parameter file contains settings that override or
|
||||
complement the library file settings. Examples of such parameter
|
||||
files are in the potentials directory with a ".meam" suffix. Their
|
||||
format is the same as is read by other Fortran MD codes. Aside from
|
||||
blank and comment lines (start with #) which can appear anywhere, each
|
||||
line has one of the following forms. Each line can also have a
|
||||
trailing comment (starting with #) which is ignored.

pair_style meam command :h3

[Syntax:]

||||
|
||||
pair_style mean :pre
|
||||
|
||||
[Examples:]
|
||||
|
||||
pair_style meam
|
||||
pair_coeff * * ../potentials/library.meam Si ../potentials/si.meam Si
|
||||
pair_coeff * * ../potentials/library.meam Ni Al NULL Ni Al Ni Ni :pre
|
||||
|
||||
[Description:]
|
||||
|
||||
Style {meam} computes pairwise interactions for a variety of materials
|
||||
using modified embedded-atom method (MEAM) potentials
|
||||
"(Baskes)"_#Baskes. Conceptually, it is an extension to the original
|
||||
"EAM potentials"_pair_style_eam.html which adds angular forces. It is
|
||||
thus suitable for modeling metals and alloys with fcc, bcc, hcp and
|
||||
diamond cubic structures, as well as covalently bonded materials like
|
||||
silicon and carbon.
|
||||
|
||||
In the MEAM formulation, the total energy E of a system of atoms is
|
||||
given by:
|
||||
|
||||
:c,image(Eqs/pair_meam.jpg)
|
||||
|
||||
where F is the embedding energy which is a function of the atomic
|
||||
electron density rho, and phi is a pair potential interaction. The
|
||||
pair interaction is summed over all neighbors J of atom I within the
|
||||
cutoff distance. As with EAM, the multi-body nature of the MEAM
|
||||
potential is a result of the embedding energy term. Details of the
|
||||
computation of the embedding and pair energies, as implemented in
|
||||
LAMMPS, are given in "(Gullet)"_#Gullet and references therein.
|
||||
|
||||
The various parameters in the MEAM formulas are listed in two files
|
||||
which are specified by the "pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html command.
|
||||
These are ASCII text files in a format consistent with other MD codes
|
||||
that implement MEAM potentials, such as the serial DYNAMO code and
|
||||
Warp. Several MEAM potential files with parameters for different
|
||||
materials are included in the "potentials" directory of the LAMMPS
|
||||
distribution with a ",meam" suffix. All of these are parameterized in
|
||||
terms of LAMMPS "metal units"_units.html.
|
||||
|
||||
Note that unlike for other potentials, cutoffs for MEAM potentials are
|
||||
not set in the pair_style or pair_coeff command; they are specified in
|
||||
the MEAM potential files themselves.
|
||||
|
||||
Only a single pair_coeff command is used with the {meam} style which
|
||||
specifies two MEAM files and the element(s) to extract information
|
||||
for. The MEAM elements are mapped to LAMMPS atom types by specifying
|
||||
N additional arguments after the 2nd filename in the pair_coeff
|
||||
command, where N is the number of LAMMPS atom types:
|
||||
|
||||
MEAM library file
|
||||
Elem1, Elem2, ...
|
||||
MEAM parameter file
|
||||
N element names = mapping of MEAM elements to atom types :ul
|
||||
|
||||
As an example, the potentials/library.meam file has generic MEAM
|
||||
settings for a variety of elements. The potentials/sic.meam file has
|
||||
specific parameter settings for a Si and C alloy system. 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:
|
||||
|
||||
pair_coeff * * library.meam Si C sic.meam Si Si Si C :pre
|
||||
|
||||
The 1st 2 arguments must be * * so as to span all LAMMPS atom types.
|
||||
The two filenames are for the library and parameter file respectively.
|
||||
The Si and C arguments (between the file names) are the two elements
|
||||
for which info will be extracted from the library file. The first
|
||||
three trailing Si arguments map LAMMPS atom types 1,2,3 to the MEAM Si
|
||||
element. The final C argument maps LAMMPS atom type 4 to the MEAM C
|
||||
element.
|
||||
|
||||
If the 2nd filename is specified as NULL, no parameter file is read,
|
||||
which simply means the generic parameters in the library file are
|
||||
used. Use of the NULL specification for the parameter file is
|
||||
discouraged for systems with more than a single element type
|
||||
(e.g. alloys), since the parameter file is expected to set element
|
||||
interaction terms that are not captured by the information in the
|
||||
library file.
|
||||
|
||||
If a mapping value is specified as NULL, the mapping is not performed.
|
||||
This can be used when a {meam} 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.
|
||||
|
||||
The MEAM library file provided with LAMMPS has the name
|
||||
potentials/library.meam. It is the "meamf" file used by other MD
|
||||
codes. Aside from blank and comment lines (start with #) which can
|
||||
appear anywhere, it is formatted as a series of entries, each of which
|
||||
has 19 parameters and can span multiple lines:
|
||||
|
||||
elt, lat, z, ielement, atwt, alpha, b0, b1, b2, b3, alat, esub, asub,
|
||||
t0, t1, t2, t3, rozero, ibar
|
||||
|
||||
The "elt" and "lat" parameters are text strings, such as elt = Si or
|
||||
Cu and lat = dia or fcc. Because the library file is used by Fortran
|
||||
MD codes, these strings may be enclosed in single quotes, but this is
|
||||
not required. The other numeric parameters match values in the
|
||||
formulas above. The value of the "elt" string is what is used in the
|
||||
pair_coeff command to identify which settings from the library file
|
||||
you wish to read in. There can be multiple entries in the library
|
||||
file with the same "elt" value; LAMMPS reads the 1st matching entry it
|
||||
finds and ignores the rest.
|
||||
|
||||
If used, the MEAM parameter file contains settings that override or
|
||||
complement the library file settings. Examples of such parameter
|
||||
files are in the potentials directory with a ".meam" suffix. Their
|
||||
format is the same as is read by other Fortran MD codes. Aside from
|
||||
blank and comment lines (start with #) which can appear anywhere, each
|
||||
line has one of the following forms. Each line can also have a
|
||||
trailing comment (starting with #) which is ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
keyword = value
|
||||
keyword(I) = value
|
||||
keyword(I,J) = value
|
||||
keyword(I,J,K) = value :pre
|
||||
|
||||
The recognized keywords are as follows:
|
||||
|
||||
Ec, alpha, rho0, delta, lattce, attrac, repuls, nn2, Cmin, Cmax, rc, delr,
|
||||
augt1, gsmooth_factor, re
|
||||
|
||||
where
|
||||
|
||||
rc = cutoff radius for cutoff function; default = 4.0
|
||||
delr = length of smoothing distance for cutoff function; default = 0.1
|
||||
rho0(I) = relative density for element I (overwrites value
|
||||
read from meamf file)
|
||||
Ec(I,J) = cohesive energy of reference structure for I-J mixture
|
||||
delta(I,J) = heat of formation for I-J alloy; if Ec_IJ is input as
|
||||
zero, then WARP sets Ec_IJ = (Ec_II + Ec_JJ)/2 - delta_IJ
|
||||
alpha(I,J) = alpha parameter for pair potential between I and J (can
|
||||
be computed from bulk modulus of reference structure
|
||||
re(I,J) = equilibrium distance between I and J in the reference
|
||||
structure
|
||||
Cmax(I,J,K) = Cmax screening parameter when I-J pair is screened
|
||||
by K (I<=J); default = 2.8
|
||||
Cmin(I,J,K) = Cmin screening parameter when I-J pair is screened
|
||||
by K (I<=J); default = 2.0
|
||||
lattce(I,J) = lattice structure of I-J reference structure:
|
||||
dia = diamond (interlaced fcc for alloy)
|
||||
fcc = face centered cubic
|
||||
bcc = body centered cubic
|
||||
dim = dimer
|
||||
B1 = rock salt (NaCl structure)
|
||||
gsmooth_factor = factor determining the length of the G-function smoothing
|
||||
region; only significant for ibar=0 or ibar=4.
|
||||
99.0 = short smoothing region, sharp step
|
||||
0.5 = long smoothing region, smooth step
|
||||
default = 99.0
|
||||
augt1 = integer flag for whether to augment t1 parameter by
|
||||
3/5*t3 to account for old vs. new meam formulations;
|
||||
0 = don't augment t1
|
||||
1 = augment t1
|
||||
default = 1 :pre
|
||||
|
||||
Each keyword represents a quantity which is either a scalar, vector,
|
||||
2d array, or 3d array and must be specified with the correct
|
||||
corresponding array syntax. The indices I,J,K each run from 1 to N
|
||||
where N is the number of MEAM elements being used.
|
||||
|
||||
Thus these lines
|
||||
|
||||
rho0(2) = 2.25
|
||||
alpha(1,2) = 4.37 :pre
|
||||
|
||||
mean set rho0 for the 2nd element to the value 2.25 and set alpha for
|
||||
the alloy interaction between elements 1 and 2 to 4.37.
