LatticeModel
This page gives hints on how to build a lattice model in multibinit.
Introduction¶
The MULTIBINIT software is based on a second-principles approach for lattice dynamics simulations using atomic potentials fitted on first-principles calculations [Wojdel2013]. See the MULTIBINIT user guide. The set up of a lattice model is the first step of the second-principles approach. It has a harmonic part and possibly an anharmonic part. For the harmonic part, see the tutorial below. For the anharmonic part, see other topics namely, the topic for the fit process and the topic for the bound process. Then, one can run a dynamics, see the topic how to run a dynamics.
Tutorials¶
The First lesson on Multibinit explains how to build a lattice model and to run a dynamics.
