How to create two element input file for Aluminum (Al) and Silicon carbide (SiC).

The tool is very useful for the generation of input script for the LAMMPS file. The tool uses the atomic masses of the individual crystal to generate the input structure. 

How we can create the input structure for the material having different atomic masses, for example, Aluminum, silicon carbide. Al, Si and C atoms interaction to be considered during the LAMMPS simulation. 

  1. crystal structures
  2. molecular simulations
  3. nanoparticles
  4. tool:fgm
  5. tool:fgmbuilder
  6. tool:lammps

    Thank you very much for your comment. The tool currently works for binary systems. So, you can't produce a functionally graded system consisting of Al, Si and C. You can build a structure consisting of AlSi or SiC. Also SiC is diamond structure. The tool currently can generate only FCC and BCC structure.

    I would suggest you to download the source code and modify it according to your requirement. For further questions, feel free to contact the authors. We will be glad to assist you.
