Examples : Tersoff Potentials


Warning: This is an example potential. Please do NOT use it for any real simulations!

This is a Tersoff potential that can be used in potfit.

Please note that there is only a tersoff_pot and no tersoff_mix potential for a single atom type.

makeapot

The example potential can be generated with the following makeapot command:

makeapot -n 1 -i tersoff
