[lammps-users] Magnetic Field

LAMMPS LAMMPS Mailing List Mirror

Dear Lammps users, I am interested in making molecular simulations with an external magnetic field.

In what follows Steve Plimpton is mentioning that something was ongoing some 4 years ago. Is there any update on this matter?

Thanks a lot

Paolo Botto

We are working on a fix bfield that will operate like fix efield for magnetic
fields. Also a dipole/dipole interaction. The issues are more about defining
new magnetic units for this kind of model. It will be released in a couple
weeks, I imagine.

Nothing of that has made it to the LAMMPS distribution. My understanding is that there were some unexpected complications with the velocity verlet integration scheme that surfaced and never found a satisfactory solution.
