Title
A single sentence description.
LAMMPS Buckingham potential for (Th,Ce)O2 mized oxides developed by Ghosh et al (2005) v000
Description A rigid-ion potential based on the Born model of ionic solids to describe the potential energy of (Th,Ce)O2 systems. The energy between ions is calculated by partitioning the energy into long-range Coulombic interactions and short-range interactions that approximate Pauli repulsions and van der Waal’s attractions between ions. The short-range term used is the Buckingham potential. The Ce-Ce, Th-Th and Ce-Th interactions are considered to be purely coulombic.
Species
The supported atomic species.

BCC Lattice Constant

This bar chart plot shows the mono-atomic body-centered cubic (bcc) lattice constant predicted by the current model (shown in the unique color) compared with the predictions for all other models in the OpenKIM Repository that support the species. The vertical bars show the average and standard deviation (one sigma) bounds for all model predictions. Graphs are generated for each species supported by the model.

Cohesive Energy Graph

This graph shows the cohesive energy versus volume-per-atom for the current mode for four mono-atomic cubic phases (body-centered cubic (bcc), face-centered cubic (fcc), simple cubic (sc), and diamond). The curve with the lowest minimum is the ground state of the crystal if stable. (The crystal structure is enforced in these calculations, so the phase may not be stable.) Graphs are generated for each species supported by the model.

Diamond Lattice Constant

This bar chart plot shows the mono-atomic face-centered diamond lattice constant predicted by the current model (shown in the unique color) compared with the predictions for all other models in the OpenKIM Repository that support the species.

Dislocation Core Energies

This graph shows the dislocation core energy of a cubic crystal at zero temperature and pressure for a specific set of dislocation core cutoff radii. After obtaining the total energy of the system from conjugate gradient minimizations, non-singular, isotropic and anisotropic elasticity are applied to obtain the dislocation core energy for each of these supercells with different dipole distances. Graphs are generated for each species supported by the model.

Elastic constants for arbitrary crystals at zero temperature and pressure v001

Contributor: ilia
Publication Year: 2025
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25950/922d328f

Computes the elastic constants for an arbitrary crystal. A robust computational protocol is used, attempting multiple methods and step sizes to achieve an acceptably low error in numerical differentiation and deviation from material symmetry. The crystal structure is specified using the AFLOW prototype designation as part of the Crystal Genome testing framework. In addition, the distance from the obtained elasticity tensor to the nearest isotropic tensor is computed.

Publication Year: 2025
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25950/866c7cfa

Computes the equilibrium crystal structure and energy for an arbitrary crystal at zero temperature and applied stress by performing symmetry-constrained relaxation. The crystal structure is specified using the AFLOW prototype designation. Multiple sets of free parameters corresponding to the crystal prototype may be specified as initial guesses for structure optimization. No guarantee is made regarding the stability of computed equilibria, nor that any are the ground state.

Test driver for computing reference ground state structures and energies for each element at zero temperature and applied stress v000

Creators:
Contributor: efuem
Publication Year: 2025
DOI: https://doi.org/10.25950/fa5ed729

This test returns reference ground state structures and energies for each element at zero temperature and applied stress. The results from this test are useful when a reference structure is required in some downstream test, such as vacancy tests (used as a reservoir). This test driver works by querying results from the EquilibriumCrystalStructure test driver using element specific reference structures following CHIPS-FF. Although the reference prototypes are independent of model, the resulting structure and energy of the prototypes are model-dependent.
