LAMMPS provides a ReaxFF potential file in its potentials dir, namely -potentials/ffield.reax. Its format is identical to that used by van -Duin and co-workers. It contains parameterizations for the following -elements: C, H, O, N, S. Si has been temporarily removed. You can -use another file in place of it, and ReaxFF files with -parameterizations for other elements or for specific chemical systems -may be available elsewhere. +
LAMMPS requires that a file called ffield.reax be provided, containing the +ReaxFF parameters for each atom type, bond type, etc. The format is identical to +the ffield file used by van Duin and co-workers. The filename is also +reuqired as an argument in the pair_coeff command. Any value other than +ffield.reax will be rejected (see below). +
+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.
