extends Simulation
Molecular-Dynamics Simulation Using the extended Finnis-Sinclair Method
(EFS) Potential.
The EFS potential is intended for use with metallic and covalently-bonded
solid systems.
The EFS potential for an atom is built using terms describing parts of the
relationships between the atom and each of its neighbors, the number of which
is determined by a cutoff variable. Each type of pair-
wise term is summed over all the neighbors, and then used in expressions
describing the embedding energy and the repulsive energy of the atom.
Effectively, the EFS potential is a many-body potential.
This class was adapted from LjMd3D.java by K.R. Schadel and A. Schultz in July
2005. Intitially, it employed a version of the embedded-atom method potential,
and was later adapted in February 2006 to use the modified embedded-atom method
potential. Finally it was modified to use the extended Finnis-Sinclair Method in
October 2013.
