sic.tersoff.custom potential file

Dear all

My simulation is including carbon nano tube(CNT) and silicon plate. I want to use Airebo potential for c/c interactions and Tersoff potential for si/si and si/c interactions. As the manual of the lammps has mentioned that for this kind of potential we must use SiC.tersoff.custom file to prevent the Tersoff potential from computing c/c interactions, I looked for this file but I could’nt find it.

Please help and send SiC.tersoff.custom file to me if you have it.

Thanks alot

please be aware that this is an inconsistent model with respect to the
manybody terms and while technically possible, generally a bad idea.
if you don't know how to customize the potential file for your needs,
then you should take it as a hint, that this may be something you
should not do.

Si.tersoff.custom means you have to create and provide
the modified file. It’s not included with LAMMPS.
