Title
A brief one-sentence description of this Property Definition.
Static calculation of a non-orthogonal periodic cell of particles (cell relaxed, particles fixed)
Description
A description about this Property Definition.
Energy (and, optionally, forces and stresses) of a non-orthogonal periodic cell of particles at zero absolute temperature in an unrelaxed configuration and a corresponding relaxed configuration. The periodic cell vectors are allowed to change in the course of relaxation, but the fractional particle positions are held fixed.

relaxed-periodic-cell-vector-1

typefloat
has-unittrue
extent[3]
requiredtrue
descriptionThe [x,y,z] components of periodic cell vector 1 in the relaxed configuration. Note that periodic cell vector 1, periodic cell vector 2, and periodic cell vector 3 must form a right-handed triad.

descriptionThe [x,y,z] components of periodic cell vector 2 in the relaxed configuration. Note that periodic cell vector 1, periodic cell vector 2, and periodic cell vector 3 must form a right-handed triad.

descriptionThe element symbol for each particle.

unrelaxed-configuration-positions

typefloat
has-unittrue
extent[":" 3]
requiredtrue
descriptionThe [x,y,z] coordinates of each particle in the unrelaxed configuration. Note that these positions are given in absolute units, but it is the fractional positions of the coordinates that are held fixed when the energy of the periodic cell is minimized with respect to the cell vectors. This means that at the end of the minimization in general the positions are no longer equal to the values stored in this array. Instead the fractional coordinates in the unrelaxed configuration would have to be computed and then multiplied by the relaxed cell vectors to obain the final positions.

unrelaxed-periodic-cell-vector-1

typefloat
has-unittrue
extent[3]
requiredtrue
descriptionThe [x,y,z] components of periodic cell vector 1 in the unrelaxed configuration. Corresponds to the initial guess used in the minimization. Note that periodic cell vector 1, periodic cell vector 2, and periodic cell vector 3 must form a right-handed triad.

unrelaxed-periodic-cell-vector-2

typefloat
has-unittrue
extent[3]
requiredtrue
descriptionThe [x,y,z] components of periodic cell vector 2 in the unrelaxed configuration. Corresponds to the initial guess used in the minimization. Note that periodic cell vector 1, periodic cell vector 2, and periodic cell vector 3 must form a right-handed triad.

unrelaxed-periodic-cell-vector-3

descriptionThe [x,y,z] components of periodic cell vector 3 in the unrelaxed configuration. Corresponds to the initial guess used in the minimization. Note that periodic cell vector 1, periodic cell vector 2, and periodic cell vector 3 must form a right-handed triad.

typefloat
has-unittrue

requiredfalse
descriptionThe [xx,yy,zz,yz,xz,xy] (i.e. [11,22,33,23,13,12]) components of the Cauchy stress conjugate to the shape of the periodic cell in the relaxed configuration. These should be zero. The deviation is an indication of the accuracy of the relaxation.

relaxed-configuration-forces

typefloat
has-unittrue
extent[":" 3]
requiredfalse
descriptionThe [x,y,z] components of the force on each particle in the relaxed configuration. These forces will not be zero in general since the particle positions are held fixed during minimization.

typefloat
has-unittrue
extent[6]

descriptionThe [xx,yy,zz,yz,xz,xy] (i.e. [11,22,33,23,13,12]) components of the Cauchy stress conjugate to the shape of the periodic cell in the unrelaxed configuration.
