Aluminium and Carbon potential files

LAMMPS LAMMPS General Discussion

Hi Everyone,

For some time now I have been trying to build a LAMMPS simulation for Aluminium Silicon Carbide, and I cannot find an Aluminium-Carbon interpotential file to make use of.

Is it that this potential file does not exist, Am I looking in the wrong directory or is there a work-around this problem.

Thanks guys.

The place to get the most information is the published literature.
There are many more potentials published than what is bundled with LAMMPS.
There also are online databases for certain types of potentials where you may find something useful. You want to find a potential that encompasses all your elements.

Thank you so much, Axel
