Graphitization of amorphous carbons: A comparative study of interatomic potentials

We perform a comparative study of six common carbon interatomic potentials: Tersoff, REBO-II, ReaxFF, EDIP, LCBOP-I and COMB3. To ensure fair comparison, all the potentials are used as implemented in the molecular dynamics package LAMMPS. Using the liquid quenching method we generate amorphous carbo...
