[lammps-users] relaxing a cupper nanowire

Dear LAMMPS users,

I am trying to simulate the uniaxial tensile loading on a cupper nanowire. My problem is with the relaxation process of the nano wire. When I use Cu-u6 potential, it does the relaxation well. But since I want to work with mishin potential, when I change the potential to Cu-mishin1.eam.alloy or even CuNiH.eam the nano wire cannot undergo the relaxation completely.

Could anybody tell me what the problem is?

I have attached the relaxation part of my code in the following. Please let me know if you need further information.

Thank you very much

Different potentials have different behavior and are formulated for
to fit to different phenomenon. I suggest you read the papers
about the potentials. This isn't really a LAMMPS issue.
