This package contains a implementation for LAMMPS of the ReaxFF force field. ReaxFF uses distance-dependent bond-order functions to represent the contributions of chemical bonding to the potential energy. It was originally developed by Adri van Duin and the Goddard group at CalTech. For technical details about this implementation of ReaxFF, see this paper: Parallel and Scalable Reactive Molecular Dynamics: Numerical Methods and Algorithmic Techniques, H. M. Aktulga, J. C. Fogarty, S. A. Pandit, A. Y. Grama, Parallel Computing, in press (2011). See the doc page for the pair_style reaxff command for details of how to use it in LAMMPS. The person who created this package is Hasan Metin Aktulga (hmaktulga at lbl.gov), while at Purdue University. Contact him directly, or Aidan Thompson at Sandia (athomps at sandia.gov), if you have questions. -------------------------------------- Thanks to Steve Plimpton and Aidan Thompson for their input on the LAMMPS architecture and for their help in understanding and customizing some of the required LAMMPS interfaces.
