LAMMPSΒΆ

LAMMPS is a classical molecular dynamics (MD) code, with a focus on materials simulations. It includes a wealth of interatomic potentials, and of basic and advanced molecular simulations techniques, and is highly parallelized using an efficient domain decomposition scheme.

Constant-temperature MD and thermostats
This recipe gives a practical introduction to finite-temperature molecular dynamics simulations, and provides a guide to choose the most appropriate thermostat for the simulation at hand.

Path integral molecular dynamics
This example shows how to run a path integral molecular dynamics simulation using i-PI, analyze the output and visualize the trajectory in chemiscope. It uses LAMMPS as the driver to simulate the q-TIP4P/f water model.

Quantum heat capacity of water
This example shows how to estimate the heat capacity of liquid water from a path integral molecular dynamics simulation. The dynamics are run with i-PI, and LAMMPS is used as the driver to simulate the q-TIP4P/f water model.
