fix drude command

Syntax

fix ID group-ID drude flag1 flag2 ... flagN

ID, group-ID are documented in fix command
drude = style name of this fix command
flag1 flag2 … flagN = Drude flag for each atom type (1 to N) in the system

Examples

fix 1 all drude 1 1 0 1 0 2 2 2
fix 1 all drude C C N C N D D D

Example input scripts available: examples/PACKAGES/drude

Description

Assign each atom type in the system to be one of 3 kinds of atoms within the Drude polarization model. This fix is designed to be used with the thermalized Drude oscillator model. Polarizable models in LAMMPS are described on the Howto polarizable doc page.

The three possible types can be designated with an integer (0,1,2) or capital letter (N,C,D):

0 or N = non-polarizable atom (not part of Drude model)
1 or C = Drude core
2 or D = Drude electron

Restrictions

This fix should be invoked before any other commands that implement the Drude oscillator model, such as fix langevin/drude, fix tgnvt/drude, fix drude/transform, compute temp/drude, pair_style thole.

Default

none
