Gold pulling junctions

This dataset contains files and scripts used in the study "Bridging the Gap: Using Machine Learning Force Fields to Simulate Gold Break Junctions at Pulling Speeds Closer to Experiments". Below, the folder structure and its contents are explained.

---
## Folder Structure

### Root Directory

- `10x10\_thinned.dat`: Thinned sample of gold junction with 10x10 electrodes.

### `holdout_set/`

Contains files and scripts related to testing models on holdout data:

- `ace_to_nep_small.txt`: Parameter file for NEP.
* `dft_forces/get_forces.py`: Script to extract DFT-calculated forces.
- `eam_data/au.lammps.eam`: EAM potential file for gold.
- `generate_data.py`: Script for sampling test structures from the reference trajectories.
- `get_eam_forces.py`: Script to calculate forces using EAM potential.
- `get_reaxff_forces.py`: Script to calculate forces using ReaxFF potential.
- `in.simple_*,`: LAMMPS input files for the reference simulations.
- `lammps_*.dat`: LAMMPS output data files.
- `log.lammps_*`: LAMMPS log files.
- `reaxff_data/`: Subdirectory for ReaxFF potential files.
- `control.reax_c.tatb`: ReaxFF control file.
- `ffield.reax.2013_ausch`: ReaxFF potential file for gold.
- `reference_structures/`: Subdirectory for reference structures. Also contains data from the DFT calculations.
- `lammps_*/`: Reference configurations for LAMMPS simulations.
- `1, 2, 3, .../`: Subdirectories for individual DFT calculations.
- `*.npy`: File containing forces from the DFT calculation.
- `*.txt`: GPAW output file.
- `.xyz`: Structure file for the DFT calculation.
- `stripped_8x8.dat`: Dataset with reduced configurations for testing.

#### Notes
A junction with 8x8 electrodes is used instead of 10x10 due to computational constraints. Specifically, too much memory was required to calculate the results for the 10x10 electrode with DFT.
