<p>Defines a computation that calculates the local lattice structure
according to the formulation given in <a class="reference internal" href="#ackland"><span class="std std-ref">(Ackland)</span></a>.</p>
<p>In contrast to the <a class="reference internal" href="compute_centro_atom.html"><span class="doc">centro-symmetry parameter</span></a> this method is stable against
temperature boost, because it is based not on the distance between
particles but the angles. Therefore statistical fluctuations are
averaged out a little more. A comparison with the Common Neighbor
Analysis metric is made in the paper.</p>
<p>The result is a number which is mapped to the following different
lattice structures:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>0 = UNKNOWN</li>
<li>1 = BCC</li>
<li>2 = FCC</li>
<li>3 = HCP</li>
<li>4 = ICO</li>
</ul>
<p>The neighbor list needed to compute this quantity is constructed each
time the calculation is performed (i.e. 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 of
which computes this quantity.-</p>
<p><strong>Output info:</strong></p>
<p>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
<a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-15"><span class="std std-ref">Section 6.15</span></a> for an overview of
LAMMPS output options.</p>

<p>This compute is part of the USER-MISC package. It is only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span class="std std-ref">Making LAMMPS</span></a> section for more info.</p>
