The MOLDY short-range molecular dynamics package

This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018)

Abstract
We describe a parallelised version of the MOLDY molecular dynamics program. This Fortran code is aimed at systems which may be described by short-range potentials and specifically those which may be addressed with the embedded atom method. This includes a wide range of transition metals and alloys. MOLDY provides a range of options in terms of the molecular dynamics ensemble used and the boundary conditions which may be applied. A number of standard potentials are provided, and the modular ...

Title of program: MOLDY
Catalogue Id: AEJU_v1_0

Nature of problem
Moldy addresses the problem of many atoms (of order 10^6) interacting via a classical interatomic potential on a timescale of microseconds. It is designed for problems where statistics must be gathered over a number of equivalent runs, such as measuring thermodynamic properities, diffusion, radiation damage, fracture, twinning deformation, nucleation and growth of phase transitions, sputtering etc. In the vast majority of materials, the interactions are non-pairwise, and the code must be able ...
