[lammps-users] rdf first minimum

Hi all,
I use eam/alloy potential to calculate the rdf of liquid, it is found that the first minimum of rdf is about 3.It is too large. My input is

units metal

fix 2 all temp/rescale 20 1300.0 1300.0 2 1.0
fix 3 all rdf 10000 rdf.out 100 1 1 1 2 2 2

the output of rdf is

r, g(1,1,r), ncoord(1,1,r), g(1,2,r), ncoord(1,2,r), g(2,2,r), ncoord(2,2,r)

what mistake is it ? I once calculate rdf using lammps in other ways, the curves are not smooth though I run1000000steps.I don’t know why it is.

looking forward for your advice.
thanks.

Don't know the answer. I suggest you talk to the KIST group that
developed the potential.
