:line
[Accuracy and order of operations:]
In most molecular dynamics software, parallelization parameters
(# of MPI, OpenMP, and vectorization) can change the results due
to changing the order of operations with finite-precision
calculations. The USER-INTEL package is deterministic. This means
that the results should be reproducible from run to run with the
{same} parallel configurations and when using determinstic
libraries or library settings (MPI, OpenMP, FFT). However, there
are differences in the USER-INTEL package that can change the
order of operations compared to LAMMPS without acceleration:
Neighbor lists can be created in a different order :ulb,l
Bins used for sorting atoms can be oriented differently :l
The default stencil order for PPPM is 7. By default, LAMMPS will
calculate other PPPM parameters to fit the desired acuracy with
this order :l
The {newton} setting applies to all atoms, not just atoms shared
between MPI tasks :l
Vectorization can change the order for adding pairwise forces :l
:ule
The precision mode (described below) used with the USER-INTEL
package can change the {accuracy} of the calculations. For the
default {mixed} precision option, calculations between pairs or
triplets of atoms are performed in single precision, intended to
be within the inherent error of MD simulations. All accumulation
is performed in double precision to prevent the error from growing
with the number of atoms in the simulation. {Single} precision
mode should not be used without appropriate validation.
:line
[Quick Start for Experienced Users:]

compute cnp/atom command :h3
[Syntax:]
compute ID group-ID cnp/atom cutoff :pre
ID, group-ID are documented in "compute"_compute.html command
cnp/atom = style name of this compute command
cutoff = cutoff distance for nearest neighbors (distance units) :ul
[Examples:]

[Description:]
Define a computation that calculates the Common Neighborhood
Parameter (CNP) for each atom in the group. In solid-state systems
the CNP is a useful measure of the local crystal structure
around an atom and can be used to characterize whether the
atom is part of a perfect lattice, a local defect (e.g. a dislocation
or stacking fault), or at a surface.
The value of the CNP parameter will be 0.0 for atoms not in the
specified compute group. Note that normally a CNP calculation should
only be performed on single component systems.
This parameter is computed using the following formula from
"(Tsuzuki)"_#Tsuzuki2
:c,image(Eqs/cnp_eq.jpg)
where the index {j} goes over the {n}i nearest neighbors of atom
{i}, and the index {k} goes over the {n}ij common nearest neighbors
between atom {i} and atom {j}. Rik and Rjk are the vectors connecting atom
{k} to atoms {i} and {j}. The quantity in the double sum is computed
for each atom.
The CNP calculation is sensitive to the specified cutoff value.
You should ensure that the appropriate nearest neighbors of an atom are
found within the cutoff distance for the presumed crystal structure.
E.g. 12 nearest neighbor for perfect FCC and HCP crystals, 14 nearest
neighbors for perfect BCC crystals. These formulas can be used to
obtain a good cutoff distance:
:c,image(Eqs/cnp_cutoff.jpg)
where a is the lattice constant for the crystal structure concerned
and in the HCP case, x = (c/a) / 1.633, where 1.633 is the ideal c/a
for HCP crystals.
Also note that since the CNP calculation in LAMMPS uses the neighbors
of an owned atom to find the nearest neighbors of a ghost atom, the
following relation should also be satisfied:
:c,image(Eqs/cnp_cutoff2.jpg)
where Rc is the cutoff distance of the potential, Rs is the skin
distance as specified by the "neighbor"_neighbor.html command, and
cutoff is the argument used with the compute cnp/atom command. LAMMPS
will issue a warning if this is not the case.
The neighbor list needed to compute this quantity is constructed each
time the calculation is performed (e.g. each time a snapshot of atoms
is dumped). Thus it can be inefficient to compute/dump this quantity
too frequently or to have multiple compute/dump commands, each with a
{cnp/atom} style.
[Output info:]
This compute calculates a per-atom vector, which can be accessed by
any command that uses per-atom values from a compute as input. See
"Section 6.15"_Section_howto.html#howto_15 for an overview of
LAMMPS output options.
The per-atom vector values will be real positive numbers. Some typical CNP
values:
FCC lattice = 0.0
BCC lattice = 0.0
HCP lattice = 4.4 :pre
FCC (111) surface ~ 13.0
FCC (100) surface ~ 26.5
FCC dislocation core ~ 11 :pre
[Restrictions:]
This compute is part of the USER-MISC package. It is only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the "Making
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info.

Add inter-replica forces to atoms in the group for a multi-replica
Add nudging forces to atoms in the group for a multi-replica
simulation run via the "neb"_neb.html command to perform a nudged
elastic band (NEB) calculation for transition state finding. Hi-level
explanations of NEB are given with the "neb"_neb.html command and in
"Section 6.5"_Section_howto.html#howto_5 of the manual. The fix
neb command must be used with the "neb" command to define how
inter-replica forces are computed.
elastic band (NEB) calculation for finding the transition state.
Hi-level explanations of NEB are given with the "neb"_neb.html command
and in "Section_howto 5"_Section_howto.html#howto_5 of the manual.
The fix neb command must be used with the "neb" command and defines
how inter-replica nudging forces are computed. A NEB calculation is
divided in two stages. In the first stage n replicas are relaxed
toward a MEP until convergence. In the second stage, the climbing
image scheme (see "(Henkelman2)"_#Henkelman2) is enabled, so that the
replica having the highest energy relaxes toward the saddle point
(i.e. the point of highest energy along the MEP), and a second
relaxation is performed.
Only the N atoms in the fix group experience inter-replica forces.
Atoms in the two end-point replicas do not experience these forces,
but those in intermediate replicas do. During the initial stage of
NEB, the 3N-length vector of interatomic forces Fi = -Grad(V) acting
on the atoms of each intermediate replica I is altered, as described
in the "(Henkelman1)"_#Henkelman1 paper, to become:
A key purpose of the nudging forces is to keep the replicas equally
spaced. During the NEB calculation, the 3N-length vector of
interatomic force Fi = -Grad(V) for each replica I is altered. For
all intermediate replicas (i.e. for 1 < I < N, except the climbing
replica) the force vector becomes:
Fi = -Grad(V) + (Grad(V) dot That) That + Kspring (| Ri+i - Ri | - | Ri - Ri-1 |) That :pre
Fi = -Grad(V) + (Grad(V) dot T') T' + Fnudge_parallel + Fnudge_perp :pre
Ri are the atomic coordinates of replica I; Ri-1 and Ri+1 are the
coordinates of its neighbor replicas. That (t with a hat over it) is
the unit "tangent" vector for replica I which is a function of Ri,
T' is the unit "tangent" vector for replica I and is a function of Ri,
Ri-1, Ri+1, and the potential energy of the 3 replicas; it points
roughly in the direction of (Ri+i - Ri-1); see the
"(Henkelman1)"_#Henkelman1 paper for details.
"(Henkelman1)"_#Henkelman1 paper for details. Ri are the atomic
coordinates of replica I; Ri-1 and Ri+1 are the coordinates of its
neighbor replicas. The term (Grad(V) dot T') is used to remove the
component of the gradient parallel to the path which would tend to
distribute the replica unevenly along the path. Fnudge_parallel is an
artificial nudging force which is applied only in the tangent
direction and which maintains the equal spacing between replicas (see
below for more information). Fnudge_perp is an optional artificial
spring which is applied in a direction perpendicular to the tangent
direction and which prevent the paths from forming acute kinks (see
below for more information).
The first two terms in the above equation are the component of the
interatomic forces perpendicular to the tangent vector. The last term
is a spring force between replica I and its neighbors, parallel to the
tangent vector direction with the specified spring constant {Kspring}.
In the second stage of the NEB calculation, the interatomic force Fi
for the climbing replica (the replica of highest energy after the
first stage) is changed to:
The effect of the first two terms is to push the atoms of each replica
toward the minimum energy path (MEP) of conformational states that
transition over the energy barrier. The MEP for an energy barrier is
defined as a sequence of 3N-dimensional states which cross the barrier
at its saddle point, each of which has a potential energy gradient
parallel to the MEP itself.
Fi = -Grad(V) + 2 (Grad(V) dot T') T' :pre
The effect of the last term is to push each replica away from its two
neighbors in a direction along the MEP, so that the final set of
states are equidistant from each other.
and the relaxation procedure is continued to a new converged MEP.
During the second stage of NEB, the forces on the N atoms in the
replica nearest the top of the energy barrier are altered so that it
climbs to the top of the barrier and finds the saddle point. The
forces on atoms in this replica are described in the
"(Henkelman2)"_#Henkelman2 paper, and become:
:line
Fi = -Grad(V) + 2 (Grad(V) dot That) That :pre
The keyword {parallel} specifies how the parallel nudging force is
computed. With a value of {neigh}, the parallel nudging force is
computed as in "(Henkelman1)"_#Henkelman1 by connecting each
intermediate replica with the previous and the next image:
The inter-replica forces for the other replicas are unchanged from the
first equation.
Fnudge_parallel = {Kspring} * (|Ri+1 - Ri| - |Ri - Ri-1|) :pre
Note that in this case the specified {Kspring) is in force/distance
units.
With a value of {ideal}, the spring force is computed as suggested in
"(WeinenE)"_#WeinenE :
Fnudge_parallel = -{Kspring} * (RD-RDideal) / (2 * meanDist) :pre
where RD is the "reaction coordinate" see "neb"_neb.html section, and
RDideal is the ideal RD for which all the images are equally spaced.
I.e. RDideal = (I-1)*meanDist when the climbing replica is off, where
I is the replica number). The meanDist is the average distance
between replicas. Note that in this case the specified {Kspring) is
in force units.
Note that the {ideal} form of nudging can often be more effective at
keeping the replicas equally spaced.
:line
The keyword {perp} specifies if and how a perpendicual nudging force
is computed. It adds a spring force perpendicular to the path in
order to prevent the path from becoming too kinky. It can
significantly improve the convergence of the NEB calculation when the
resolution is poor. I.e. when few replicas are used; see
"(Maras)"_#Maras1 for details.
The perpendicular spring force is given by
Fnudge_perp = {Kspring2} * F(Ri-1,Ri,Ri+1) (Ri+1 + Ri-1 - 2 Ri) :pre
where {Kspring2} is the specified value. F(Ri-1 Ri R+1) is a smooth
scalar function of the angle Ri-1 Ri Ri+1. It is equal to 0.0 when
the path is straight and is equal to 1 when the angle Ri-1 Ri Ri+1 is
acute. F(Ri-1 Ri R+1) is defined in "(Jonsson)"_#Jonsson.
If {Kspring2} is set to 0.0 (the default) then no perpendicular spring
force is added.
:line
By default, no additional forces act on the first and last replicas
during the NEB relaxation, so these replicas simply relax toward their
respective local minima. By using the key word {end}, additional
forces can be applied to the first and/or last replicas, to enable
them to relax toward a MEP while constraining their energy.
The interatomic force Fi for the specified replica becomes:
Fi = -Grad(V) + (Grad(V) dot T' + (E-ETarget)*Kspring3) T', {when} Grad(V) dot T' < 0
Fi = -Grad(V) + (Grad(V) dot T' + (ETarget- E)*Kspring3) T', {when} Grad(V) dot T' > 0
:pre
where E is the current energy of the replica and ETarget is the target
energy. The "spring" constant on the difference in energies is the
specified {Kspring3} value.
When {estyle} is specified as {first}, the force is applied to the
first replica. When {estyle} is specified as {last}, the force is
applied to the last replica. Note that the {end} keyword can be used
twice to add forces to both the first and last replicas.
For both these {estyle} settings, the target energy {ETarget} is set
to the initial energy of the replica (at the start of the NEB
calculation).
If the {estyle} is specified as {last/efirst} or {last/efirst/middle},
force is applied to the last replica, but the target energy {ETarget}
is continuously set to the energy of the first replica, as it evolves
during the NEB relaxation.
The difference between these two {estyle} options is as follows. When
{estyle} is specified as {last/efirst}, no change is made to the
inter-replica force applied to the intermediate replicas (neither
first or last). If the initial path is too far from the MEP, an
intermediate repilica may relax "faster" and reach a lower energy than
the last replica. In this case the intermediate replica will be
relaxing toward its own local minima. This behavior can be prevented
by specifying {estyle} as {last/efirst/middle} which will alter the
inter-replica force applied to intermediate replicas by removing the
contribution of the gradient to the inter-replica force. This will
only be done if a particular intermediate replica has a lower energy
than the first replica. This should effectively prevent the
intermediate replicas from over-relaxing.
After converging a NEB calculation using an {estyle} of
{last/efirst/middle}, you should check that all intermediate replicas
have a larger energy than the first replica. If this is not the case,
the path is probably not a MEP.
Finally, note that if the last replica converges toward a local
minimum which has a larger energy than the energy of the first
replica, a NEB calculation using an {estyle} of {last/efirst} or
{last/efirst/middle} cannot reach final convergence.

be a state with all the atoms (NEB and non-NEB) having coordinates on
one side of the energy barrier. A perfect energy minimum is not
required, since atoms in the first replica experience no spring forces
from the 2nd replica. Thus the damped dynamics minimization will
drive the first replica to an energy minimum if it is not already
there. However, you will typically get better convergence if the
initial state is already at a minimum. For example, for a system with
a free surface, the surface should be fully relaxed before attempting
a NEB calculation.
Likewise, the initial configuration of the final replica should be a
state with all the atoms (NEB and non-NEB) on the other side of the
energy barrier. Again, a perfect energy minimum is not required,
since the atoms in the last replica also experience no spring forces
from the next-to-last replica, and thus the damped dynamics
minimization will drive it to an energy minimum.
Conceptually, the initial and final configurations for the first
replica should be states on either side of an energy barrier.
As explained below, the initial configurations of intermediate
replicas can be atomic coordinates interpolated in a linear fashion
between the first and last replicas. This is often adequate state for
between the first and last replicas. This is often adequate for
simple transitions. For more complex transitions, it may lead to slow
convergence or even bad results if the minimum energy path (MEP, see
below) of states over the barrier cannot be correctly converged to
from such an initial configuration. In this case, you will want to
generate initial states for the intermediate replicas that are

The "maximum force per replica" is
the two-norm of the 3N-length force vector for the atoms in each

is checking against. In this case, N is all the atoms in each
replica. The "maximum force per atom" is the maximum force component
of any atom in any replica. The potential gradients are the two-norm
of the 3N-length force vector solely due to the interaction potential i.e.
without adding in inter-replica forces. Note that inter-replica forces
are zero in the initial and final replicas, and only affect
the direction in the climbing replica. For this reason, the "maximum
force per replica" is often equal to the potential gradient in the
climbing replica. In the first stage of NEB, there is no climbing
replica, and so the potential gradient in the highest energy replica
is reported, since this replica will become the climbing replica

is calculated as in "(HenkelmanA)"_#HenkelmanA for all intermediate
replicas and at R2 - R1 and RM - RM-1 for the first and last replica,
respectively. "anglegrad" is the angle between the 3N-length energy
gradient vector of replica i and that of replica i+1. It is not
