Use MEAM in MD++

Use MEAM in MD++

Keonwook Kang, Seunghwa Ryu and Wei Cai

This tutorial describes how to use the modified embedded-atom method (MEAM) potential in MD++. The MEAM potential was originally developed by Dr. Mike Baskes,

Modified embedded-atom potentials for cubic materials and impurities, Physical Review B, 46, 2727 (1992).

Since then MEAM potentials for many elements, as well as binary and ternary alloy systems have been developed. The MEAM potentials allows us to quickly set up a model for a wide range of materials systems. MEAM has also been implemented in LAMMPS, whose subroutines have been used in the MEAM implementation in MD++.
