Relaxation make

Relaxation make#

The list of the directories storing structures are ["confs/std-*"] in the previous example. For single element system, if POSCAR doesn’t exist in the directories: std-fcc, std-hcp, std-dhcp, std-bcc, std-diamond, and std-sc, the package will automatically generate the standard crystal structures fcc, hcp, dhcp, bcc, diamond, and sc in the corresponding directories, respectively. In other conditions and for multi-component system (more than 1), if POSCAR doesn’t exist, the package will terminate and print the error “no configuration for autotest”.

VASP relaxation#

Take the input example of Al in the previous section, when we do make as follows:

dpgen autotest make relaxation.json

the following files would be generated:

tree confs/std-fcc/relaxation/
confs/std-fcc/relaxation/
|-- INCAR
|-- POTCAR
`-- relax_task
    |-- INCAR -> ../INCAR
    |-- inter.json
    |-- KPOINTS
    |-- POSCAR -> ../../POSCAR
    |-- POTCAR -> ../POTCAR
    `-- task.json

inter.json records the information in the interaction dictionary and task.json records the information in the relaxation dictionary.

LAMMPS relaxation#

dpgen autotest make relaxation.json
tree confs/std-fcc/

the output would be:

confs/std-fcc/
|-- POSCAR
`-- relaxation
    |-- frozen_model.pb -> ../../../frozen_model.pb
    |-- in.lammps
    `-- relax_task
        |-- conf.lmp
        |-- frozen_model.pb -> ../frozen_model.pb
        |-- in.lammps -> ../in.lammps
        |-- inter.json
        |-- POSCAR -> ../../POSCAR
        `-- task.json

the conf.lmp is the input configuration and in.lammps is the input command file for lammps.

in.lammps: the package would generate the file confs/mp-*/relaxation/in.lammps as follows and we refer the user to the further information of fix box/relax function in lammps:

print "Final volume per atoms = ${Vpa}"
print "Final Base area = ${AA}"
print "Final Stress (xx yy zz xy xz yz) = ${Pxx} ${Pyy} ${Pzz} ${Pxy} ${Pxz} ${Pyz}"

If user provides lammps input command file in.lammps, the thermo_style and dump commands should be the same as the above file.

interatomic potential model: the frozen_model.pb in confs/mp-*/relaxation would link to the frozen_model.pb file given in the input.
