LAMMPS: Simulating Spatially Oscillating Electric Fields
Introduction to Electric Field Simulation
Explanation of the need for oscillating electric fields in simulations.
Mention of the initial example with a simplified constant E-field using a variable.
Creating Spatially Dependent E-field
Discussion on using atom-style variables to define spatial dependencies.
The capability of the 'fix efield' command to incorporate both spatial and temporal oscillations.
Advice on testing and verifying the setup using variable expressions documented in LAMMPS manual.
Testing and Verification
Recommendation to output results including atom IDs and coordinates to check variable values.
Emphasis on conducting preliminary tests to ensure the desired E-field behavior.
