Nanorod structure

Hi,

I want to generate gold nanorod structure, I have searched in lammps forum and found this http://sourceforge.net/p/lammps/mailman/message/32392852/, so I used

these commands to generate it but I am not sure if this is the correct away as mentioned in the comments of that link.

Please let me know if this is correct or not if not then how can I generate nanorod for gold nanoparticles.

Thanks!

Ali

Hi,

I want to generate gold nanorod structure, I have searched in lammps forum and found this http://sourceforge.net/p/lammps/mailman/message/32392852/, so I used

region domain cylinder x 40 40 42 -10 110 units box
region rod cylinder x 40 40 40 0 100 units box

create_box 2 domain
create_atoms 1 region rod

these commands to generate it but I am not sure if this is the correct away as mentioned in the comments of that link.

Please let me know if this is correct or not if not then how can I generate nanorod for gold nanoparticles.

Sorry, but we are not a service for input file approval here. Whether an input is correct for your needs is your task to find out, not somebody else’s (well, unless you are willing to pay this person to do your work, of course). You can easily visualize your rod and also run test simulations to see, if it.behavea as expected.
