neighbor list of ghost atoms

Dear lammps developers,

my question is how we can build the neighbor list of ghost atoms?
Basically I need to create a layer of phantom atoms which are bonded to a layer of real atoms.
I went through related lammps_users emails to find some information on ghost atoms but in general still it’s very vague for me how we can get access to ghost atoms ID and how we can output the information about ghost atoms.
Thank you in advance for your time.

Best regards,
Samin

Dear lammps developers,

my question is how we can build the neighbor list of ghost atoms?

what makes those phantom atoms?

can’t you just use “real” ones and then exclude their
the interactions you don’t want.

I went through related lammps_users emails to find some information on ghost atoms but in general still it’s very vague for me how we can get access to ghost atoms ID and how we can output the information about ghost atoms.

it looks to me, that you are confused about what a “ghost” atom actually is.
also, you have to distinguish between a local and a global id.

if you provide a few more details about what you are going to do,
perhaps it will be possible to give useful advice.
