This is simple and the most often introduced example for newcomers to
lVID. Remember that an empirical potential such as Voter and Chen’s is
constructed by fitting a function to experimental data that include cohe-
sive energy, equilibrium lattice parameters, etc. Thus, we expect a good
I
agreement between our calculated values and experimental values.
3.1.1.1 Runfile
The following is the run file prepared for this exercise with remarks on
some lines with # for brief descriptions of the command. All command
lines are self—explanatory, and any inquiry can be referred to in the man-
ual. Note that, to use this file in an actual run, the remarks should be
removed or changed to independent lines with # at the start of the line to
avoid any error.
