COMB3 in LAMMPS
The third generation of the charge-optimized many body potential (COMB3), which merges variable charge electrostatic interactions with a classical analytical potential, has the capacity to treat a variety of elements and multifunctional systems. See the figure below for the available COMB3 parameterizations for binary systems. The ternary and above systems include Al/O/N, Pt/O/H, Ti/O/N, C/O/H, Cu/Zn/C/O/H, Ti/C/O/H. A zip file which includes COMB3 implementation in LAMMPS is available here. Please download it and read the readme.txt. Make sure you can reproduce the results in “example” folder before your usage. It is worthwhile to note that the cutoff radius for the Coulomb interactions in COMB3 is 11.1 angstroms. The size of the system along each direction cannot be less than 11.1 angstrom if the periodic boundary condition is enforced in that direction.

REBO-MoS2 in Lammps
The enclosed MoS2 potential uses the similar functional forms that are used in the reactive empirical bond order (REBO). Please acknowledge to Dr. Douglas Spearot at University of Florida, whose research group implemented this potential in LAMMPS. A ZIP file which includes the REBO-MoS2 in LAMMPS is available here. For usage of this potential in LAMMPS, add these two lines in LAMMPS input file.
