with care and test calculations (e.g. on multiple binary mixtures) performed
to gauge the error.
Steps:
Steps (create.f):
1) compile create.f -> a.out (e.g. gfortran create.f)
2) edit the input file EAM.input to list 2 or more desired elements to include
3) a.out < EAM.input will create an *.eam.alloy potential file
4) in DYNAMO or LAMMPS context this file is referred to as a setfl file
Steps (create_eam.py):
Usage: create_eam.py [-h] [-n NAME [NAME ...]] [-nr NR] [-nrho NRHO]
options:
-n NAME [NAME ...], --names NAME [NAME ...]
Element names
-nr NR Number of point in r space [default 2000]
-nrho NRHO Number of point in rho space [default 2000]
1) you must have numpy installed
2) run "python create_eam.py -n Ta Cu" with the list of desired elements
3) this will create an *.eam.alloy potential file
in DYNAMO or LAMMPS context the created file is referred to as a setfl file
that can be used with the LAMMPS pair_style eam/alloy command
