fix wall/lj126 command :h3
[Syntax:]
fix ID group-ID wall/lj126 style coord epsilon sigma cutoff :pre
ID, group-ID are documented in "fix"_fix.html command
wall/lj126 = style name of this fix command
style = {xlo} or {xhi} or {ylo} or {yhi} or {zlo} or {zhi}
coord = position of wall
epsilon = Lennard-Jones epsilon for wall-particle interaction
sigma = Lennard-Jones sigma for wall-particle interaction
cutoff = distance from wall at which wall-particle interaction is cut off :ul
[Examples:]
fix wallhi all wall/lj126 xhi 10.0 1.0 1.0 1.12 :pre
[Description:]
Bound the simulation domain with a Lennard-Jones wall that encloses
the atoms. The energy E of a wall-particle interactions is given by
the 12-6 potential
:c,image(Eqs/pair_lj.jpg)
where {r} is the distance from the particle to the wall {coord}, and
epsilon and sigma are the usual LJ parameters. Rc is the cutoff value
specified in the command. This interaction provides a harder, more
repulsive interaction with the wall than the softer 9-3 potential
provided by the "fix wall/lj93"_fix_wall_lj93.html command.
The wall potential is shifted so that the energy of a wall-particle
interaction is 0.0 at the cutoff distance.
[Restart, fix_modify, thermo output, run start/stop, minimize info:]
No information about this fix is written to "binary restart
files"_restart.html.
The "fix_modify"_fix_modify.html {energy} option is supported by this
fix to add the energy of interaction between atoms and the wall to the
system's potential energy as part of "thermodynamic
output"_thermo_style.html.
This fix computes a scalar energy and a 3-vector of forces (on the
wall), which can be accessed by various "output
commands"_Section_howto.html#4_15.
No parameter of this fix can be used with the {start/stop} keywords of
the "run"_run.html command.
The forces due to this fix are imposed during an energy minimization,
invoked by the "minimize"_minimize.html command.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If you want the atom/wall interaction energy to be
included in the total potential energy of the system (the quantity
being minimized), you MUST enable the "fix_modify"_fix_modify.html
{energy} option for this fix.
[Restrictions:]
Any dimension (xyz) that has a LJ 12/6 wall must be non-periodic.
[Related commands:]
"fix wall/reflect"_fix_wall_reflect.html, "fix
wall/lj93"_fix_wall_lj93.html
[Default:] none
