NAME

Demeter::Feff::MD::LAMMPS - Role supporting LAMPPS output files

VERSION

This documentation refers to Demeter version 0.9.26.

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

NOTES ON THE LAMMPS FILE

From email with Mike Demkowicz

  The model is periodic in the interface plane and terminates in free
  surfaces in the direction normal to the interface plane. The file
  contents are:

  row 1: a series of 11 numbers, the last of which is the number of
         atoms in the model. The first ten numbers are just
         placeholders and don't denote anything.

  rows 10-12: the 3x3 matrix that describes the shape and size of the
         simulation cell. The vectors that describe the edges of the
         cell are the rows of this matrix. As you can see, the matrix
         is diagonal so the simulation cell edges are orthogonal. The
         x and y directions (first 2 entries) are parallel to the
         interface plane. The z direction (3rd entry) is normal to the
         interface plane, but since the model is not periodic in that
         direction this length is not of great importance (the actual
         bilayer thickness is about 80A). All lengths in Angstroms.

  - row 19 onwards: these are the four entries you requested. Every
         row corresponds to one atom. The first number is the atom
         type, where 1=Cu and 2=Nb. The remaining three entries in
         every row are the x, y, and z coordinates of each atom, again
         in Angstroms. I've shifted the model so that the interface is
         at z=0. All the Cu atoms have z<0 and the Nb atoms have z>0.

METHODS

_cluster

Fills clusters attribute with a list-of-lists, each inner list containing the cartesian coordinates and atomic species of each item in the cluster at that time step. The outer list is only 1 item long, as this file does not contain a time sequence.

DEPENDENCIES

Demeter's dependencies are in the Build.PL file.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

Please report problems to the Ifeffit Mailing List (http://cars9.uchicago.edu/mailman/listinfo/ifeffit/)

Patches are welcome.
