The carbon atoms are known to have very complex properties which are
simply impossible to simulate by
two-body potentials in the framework of molecular dynamics.
Therefore one needs more complex many-body potentials, which are related
to the original potential proposed by
Tersoff.
The aim of this subproject is to collect as much as possible of the
available experience with such potentials, in
particular with relations to studies of fulleren-like structures and
carbon nanotubes, and set them into a framework
related to Protomol. |
