Reactive potentials

Reactive (bond-order) potentials let chemical bonds break and form during the simulation: the strength of each bond depends on the local environment of the two atoms (coordination, bond angles, conjugation).

  • REBO: second-generation Reactive Empirical Bond Order potential for hydrocarbons (C, H).
  • LCHBOP: Long-range Carbon-Hydrogen Bond Order Potential.
