This directory has an input script that illustrates how to use LAMMPS
|
|
as an energy-evaluation engine in a Monte Carlo (MC) relaxation loop.
|
|
It is just an illustration of how to do this for a toy 2d problem, but
|
|
the script is fairly sophisticated in its use of variables, looping,
|
|
and an if-the-else statement which applies the Boltzmann factor to
|
|
accept or reject a trial atomic-displacement move.
|
|
|
|
The script sets up a perfect 2d hex lattice, then perturbs all
|
|
the atom positions to "disorder" the system. It then
|
|
loops in the following manner:
|
|
|
|
pick a random atom and displace it to a random new position
|
|
evaluate the change in energy of the system due to
|
|
the single-atom displacement
|
|
accept or reject the trial move
|
|
if accepted, continue to the next iteration
|
|
if rejected, restore the atom to its original position
|
|
before continuing to the next iteration
|
|
|
|
The 6 variables at the top of the input script can be adjusted
|
|
to play with various MC parameters.
|
|
|
|
When the script is finished, statistics about the MC procedure
|
|
are printed.
|
|
|
|
Dump file snapshots or images or a movie of the MC relaxation can be
|
|
produced by uncommenting the appropriate dump lines in the script.
|
|
|
|
See the Python script mc.py in python/examples for similar
|
|
functionality encoded in a script that invokes LAMMPS as a library.
