Dear LAMMPS users,
Hi,
Currently I intend to build an initial lattice structure of Silicon nitride. The atomistic details based on an experiment is attached and I used the input commands as below. however, when I run this job it doesn’t result a correct structure ( It gives something but It isn’t correct ). So, I wonder if you could please help me out. By the way, I studied “http://lammps.sandia.gov/doc/Section_howto.html#howto-12” so please don’t reference me into that webpage.
Sincerely,
Ali
