Electric Field MD simulation
« on: May 6, 2016, 08:06 »
Is it possible to get through MD simulations in ATK how a point defects will move through a material upon application of electric/ magnetic fields?

This is not possible in ATK-2015, but will be possible in ATK-2016, as long as you can describe the force exerted on the atoms by the field as a constant force (e.g electric field F=q*E) or as a function of the positions of the atoms.
