Modelling three fullerenes

Hi everyone,

I want to model three C60 with Tersoff potential. But it seems that LAMMPS can’t recognize the bond correctly. It seems that the structure collapse. I don’t know what happens. Here’s part of my code. Can some one help me? Can I use Tersoff in that way? Thank you very much.

Hi everyone,

I want to model three C60 with Tersoff potential. But it seems that LAMMPS
can't recognize the bond correctly. It seems that the structure collapse. I
don't know what happens. Here's part of my code. Can some one help me? Can I
use Tersoff in that way? Thank you very much.

whoa there! unless you use a customized tersoff potential file, you
have the wrong units selection. the tersoff potential files shipped
with LAMMPS *require* the use of metal units.

In addition, you don't need to hybrid 3 Tersoff potentials - just one would
do. Something like this:

pair_style hybrid tersoff lj/cut 10
pair_coeff * * tersoff C:/lammps/Potentials/SiC.tersoff C C C
