Segementation fault error while modeling atom bombardment over bulk strucuture using Reaxx FF.

Hi,

I am getting the Segmentation fault error while perform my simulation modeling of atom bombardment over bulk structure using reaxFF. I am attaching my input file below.

REAX potential for HCB system

units real

atom_style charge

mass 2 12.0107

mass 3 1.008

mass 4 12.0107

Could also try the Kokkos version of ReaxFF and see if the problem persists.

Hi
Which BCH reaxff force field are you using ? The one from

CBN.ff: (C/H/B/N)

Sung Jin Pai, Byung Chul Yeoa and Sang Soo Han Reactive force field for the improved design of liquid CBN hydrogen storage materials Phys. Chem. Chem. Phys., 2016, 18, pp 1818-1827

  • forcefield for studying liquid CBN (carbon-boron-nitrogen) hydrogen-storage materials.
  • Branch: combustion.
If yes, it could not be suitable for your problem while Hydrogen Boron bonds are not included, if I well remember. If true it can induce such « segmentation fault »
