Hello,
I want to use BOP potential for a simulation with Silicon carbide (SiC), but for some reason I think it is not work because I do not have it in mz repository in LAMMPS. I have checked it and there are in the potential folder only Cdte.bop.table, inbop.lmp and log90ct20bop.1. Can anyone help me ? I think I need to download BOP for Silicon carbide
The potential files in the potentials folder of the LAMMPS distribution are by no means meant to be a comprehensive collection of potentials files. It mostly contains examples for the format of potential files for different pair styles and potentials for use with the included examples.
The largest resource for potential parameters is the published literature. Some of those potentials are also submitted to either the NIST Interatomic Potentials Repository or the OpenKIM database for atomic potentials (or both).
