Dear all,
I'm wondering if it is possible to use the molecular dynamics method to do some simulations about the electroplastic phenomenon to investigate the electric current effects on dislocation motions. I have not used molecular dynamics before, and I'm unsure if I can simulate the electric current charge in LAMMPS. So, if anyone could share references or ideas regarding this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks but I need to use something with lower scales to decouple the the thermal and athermal effects of electropulsing. Nanoscale simulation would work better in this case.
With the code LAMMPS, it is possible apply an electric field ('fix efield' command), which will simulate an external electrical field. Of course, you need to add a charge to your atoms, in order to be effective.
I never tried to do it myself, but it may be a solution (?).
HTH,
L.P.
