<h2>Description</h2>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">The behavior of the MEAM potential for alloy systems has changed
as of November 2010; see description below of the mixture_ref_t
parameter</p>
</div>
<p>Style <em>meam</em> computes pairwise interactions for a variety of materials
using modified embedded-atom method (MEAM) potentials
<a class="reference internal" href="#baskes"><span class="std std-ref">(Baskes)</span></a>. Conceptually, it is an extension to the original
<a class="reference internal" href="pair_eam.html"><span class="doc">EAM potentials</span></a> which adds angular forces. It is
thus suitable for modeling metals and alloys with fcc, bcc, hcp and
diamond cubic structures, as well as covalently bonded materials like
silicon and carbon.</p>
<p>In the MEAM formulation, the total energy E of a system of atoms is
given by:</p>
<img alt="_images/pair_meam.jpg" class="align-center" src="_images/pair_meam.jpg" />
<p>where F is the embedding energy which is a function of the atomic
electron density rho, and phi is a pair potential interaction. The
pair interaction is summed over all neighbors J of atom I within the
cutoff distance. As with EAM, the multi-body nature of the MEAM
potential is a result of the embedding energy term. Details of the
computation of the embedding and pair energies, as implemented in
LAMMPS, are given in <a class="reference internal" href="#gullet"><span class="std std-ref">(Gullet)</span></a> and references therein.</p>
<p>The various parameters in the MEAM formulas are listed in two files
which are specified by the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_coeff.html"><span class="doc">pair_coeff</span></a> command.
These are ASCII text files in a format consistent with other MD codes
that implement MEAM potentials, such as the serial DYNAMO code and
Warp. Several MEAM potential files with parameters for different
materials are included in the &#8220;potentials&#8221; directory of the LAMMPS
distribution with a &#8221;.meam&#8221; suffix. All of these are parameterized in
terms of LAMMPS <a class="reference internal" href="units.html"><span class="doc">metal units</span></a>.</p>
<p>Note that unlike for other potentials, cutoffs for MEAM potentials are
not set in the pair_style or pair_coeff command; they are specified in
the MEAM potential files themselves.</p>
<p>Only a single pair_coeff command is used with the <em>meam</em> style which
specifies two MEAM files and the element(s) to extract information
for. The MEAM elements are mapped to LAMMPS atom types by specifying
N additional arguments after the 2nd filename in the pair_coeff
command, where N is the number of LAMMPS atom types:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>MEAM library file</li>
<li>Elem1, Elem2, ...</li>
<li>MEAM parameter file</li>
<li>N element names = mapping of MEAM elements to atom types</li>
</ul>
<p>See the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_coeff.html"><span class="doc">pair_coeff</span></a> doc page for alternate ways
to specify the path for the potential files.</p>
<p>As an example, the potentials/library.meam file has generic MEAM
settings for a variety of elements. The potentials/sic.meam file has
specific parameter settings for a Si and C alloy system. If your
LAMMPS simulation has 4 atoms types and you want the 1st 3 to be Si,
and the 4th to be C, you would use the following pair_coeff command:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">pair_coeff</span> <span class="o">*</span> <span class="o">*</span> <span class="n">library</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">meam</span> <span class="n">Si</span> <span class="n">C</span> <span class="n">sic</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="n">meam</span> <span class="n">Si</span> <span class="n">Si</span> <span class="n">Si</span> <span class="n">C</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The 1st 2 arguments must be * * so as to span all LAMMPS atom types.
The two filenames are for the library and parameter file respectively.
The Si and C arguments (between the file names) are the two elements
for which info will be extracted from the library file. The first
three trailing Si arguments map LAMMPS atom types 1,2,3 to the MEAM Si
element. The final C argument maps LAMMPS atom type 4 to the MEAM C
element.</p>
<p>If the 2nd filename is specified as NULL, no parameter file is read,
which simply means the generic parameters in the library file are
used. Use of the NULL specification for the parameter file is
discouraged for systems with more than a single element type
(e.g. alloys), since the parameter file is expected to set element
interaction terms that are not captured by the information in the
library file.</p>
<p>If a mapping value is specified as NULL, the mapping is not performed.
This can be used when a <em>meam</em> potential is used as part of the
<em>hybrid</em> pair style. The NULL values are placeholders for atom types
that will be used with other potentials.</p>
<p>The MEAM library file provided with LAMMPS has the name
potentials/library.meam. It is the &#8220;meamf&#8221; file used by other MD
codes. Aside from blank and comment lines (start with #) which can
appear anywhere, it is formatted as a series of entries, each of which
has 19 parameters and can span multiple lines:</p>
<p>elt, lat, z, ielement, atwt, alpha, b0, b1, b2, b3, alat, esub, asub,
t0, t1, t2, t3, rozero, ibar</p>
<p>The &#8220;elt&#8221; and &#8220;lat&#8221; parameters are text strings, such as elt = Si or
Cu and lat = dia or fcc. Because the library file is used by Fortran
MD codes, these strings may be enclosed in single quotes, but this is
not required. The other numeric parameters match values in the
formulas above. The value of the &#8220;elt&#8221; string is what is used in the
pair_coeff command to identify which settings from the library file
you wish to read in. There can be multiple entries in the library
file with the same &#8220;elt&#8221; value; LAMMPS reads the 1st matching entry it
finds and ignores the rest.</p>
<p>Other parameters in the MEAM library file correspond to single-element
potential parameters:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
lat = lattice structure of reference configuration
z = number of nearest neighbors in the reference structure
ielement = atomic number
atwt = atomic weight
alat = lattice constant of reference structure
esub = energy per atom (eV) in the reference structure at equilibrium
asub = &quot;A&quot; parameter for MEAM (see e.g. <a class="reference internal" href="#baskes"><span class="std std-ref">(Baskes)</span></a>)
</pre>
<p>The alpha, b0, b1, b2, b3, t0, t1, t2, t3 parameters correspond to the
standard MEAM parameters in the literature <a class="reference internal" href="#baskes"><span class="std std-ref">(Baskes)</span></a> (the b
parameters are the standard beta parameters). The rozero parameter is
an element-dependent density scaling that weights the reference
background density (see e.g. equation 4.5 in <a class="reference internal" href="#gullet"><span class="std std-ref">(Gullet)</span></a>) and
is typically 1.0 for single-element systems. The ibar parameter
selects the form of the function G(Gamma) used to compute the electron
density; options are</p>

<p>If used, the MEAM parameter file contains settings that override or
complement the library file settings. Examples of such parameter
files are in the potentials directory with a &#8221;.meam&#8221; suffix. Their
format is the same as is read by other Fortran MD codes. Aside from
blank and comment lines (start with #) which can appear anywhere, each
line has one of the following forms. Each line can also have a
trailing comment (starting with #) which is ignored.</p>

<p>set rho0 for the 2nd element to the value 2.25 and set alpha for the
alloy interaction between elements 1 and 2 to 4.37.</p>
<p>The augt1 parameter is related to modifications in the MEAM
formulation of the partial electron density function. In recent
literature, an extra term is included in the expression for the
third-order density in order to make the densities orthogonal (see for
example <a class="reference internal" href="pair_polymorphic.html#wang"><span class="std std-ref">(Wang)</span></a>, equation 3d); this term is included in the
MEAM implementation in lammps. However, in earlier published work
this term was not included when deriving parameters, including most of
those provided in the library.meam file included with lammps, and to
account for this difference the parameter t1 must be augmented by
3/5*t3. If augt1=1, the default, this augmentation is done
automatically. When parameter values are fit using the modified
density function, as in more recent literature, augt1 should be set to
0.</p>
<p>The mixture_ref_t parameter is available to match results with those
of previous versions of lammps (before January 2011). Newer versions
of lammps, by default, use the single-element values of the t
parameters to compute the background reference density. This is the
proper way to compute these parameters. Earlier versions of lammps
used an alloy mixture averaged value of t to compute the background
reference density. Setting mixture_ref_t=1 gives the old behavior.
WARNING: using mixture_ref_t=1 will give results that are demonstrably
incorrect for second-neighbor MEAM, and non-standard for
first-neighbor MEAM; this option is included only for matching with
previous versions of lammps and should be avoided if possible.</p>
<p>The parameters attrac and repuls, along with the integer selection
parameter erose_form, can be used to modify the Rose energy function
used to compute the pair potential. This function gives the energy of
the reference state as a function of interatomic spacing. The form of
this function is:</p>

<div class="admonition note">
<p class="first admonition-title">Note</p>
<p class="last">The default form of the erose expression in LAMMPS was corrected
in March 2009. The current version is correct, but may show different
behavior compared with earlier versions of lammps with the attrac
and/or repuls parameters are non-zero. To obtain the previous default
form, use erose_form = 1 (this form does not seem to appear in the
literature). An alternative form (see e.g. <a class="reference internal" href="#lee2"><span class="std std-ref">(Lee2)</span></a>) is
available using erose_form = 2.</p>

<p><strong>Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info</strong>:</p>
<p>For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, where types I and J correspond to
two different element types, mixing is performed by LAMMPS with
user-specifiable parameters as described above. You never need to
specify a pair_coeff command with I != J arguments for this style.</p>
<p>This pair style does not support the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><span class="doc">pair_modify</span></a>
shift, table, and tail options.</p>
<p>This pair style does not write its information to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><span class="doc">binary restart files</span></a>, since it is stored in potential files. Thus, you
need to re-specify the pair_style and pair_coeff commands in an input
script that reads a restart file.</p>
<p>This pair style can only be used via the <em>pair</em> keyword of the
<a class="reference internal" href="run_style.html"><span class="doc">run_style respa</span></a> command. It does not support the
<em>inner</em>, <em>middle</em>, <em>outer</em> keywords.</p>
</div>
<hr class="docutils" />
<div class="section" id="restrictions">
<h2>Restrictions</h2>
<p>This style is part of the MEAM package. It is only enabled if LAMMPS
was built with that package, which also requires the MEAM library be
built and linked with LAMMPS. 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>
