Dear Agraj Abhishek,
Please include this mail in lammps forum so that everyone can be benefit.
See below for the input script which you requested. I take the simulation box boundary lx (from thermo_style) as the lattice constant. I wrote a simple code to read lammps output and calculate the lattice constants by averaging over large equilibrium time steps. I believe you could do it too. I don’t understand what you mean by U shape curve, maybe you can post your query to lammps forum.
Good luck,
Christopher
