[lammps-users] Thiol sliding on gild under parallel stretch

Dear users,

I would like to get an opinion on whether I could do this simulation in LAMMPS.

I need to estimate the force of parallel stretch under which a thiol molecule (in presence of other thiol neighbours) would start to slide/desorp on gold surface.

If possible in LAMMPS, what would be the right potential to use? I guess it needs to be a manybody potential.

Your suggestion would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Sourav

For the stretch you could use the fix deform command. What
potential you need is up to you to figure out.
