Description

This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018) Abstract We here present a revised version, v1.1, of the KMCLib general framework for kinetic Monte-Carlo (KMC) simulations. The generation of random numbers in KMCLib now relies on the C++11 standard library implementation, and support has been added for the user to choose from a set of C++11 implemented random number generators. The Mersenne-twister, the 24 and 48 bit RANLUX and a ‘minimal-standard’ PRNG are supported. We have also included the possibility to use true random numbers via the C++11 st... Title of program: KMCLib v1.1 Catalogue Id: AESZ_v1_1 Nature of problem Atomic scale simulation of slowly evolving dynamics is a great challenge in many areas of computational materials science and catalysis. When the rare-events dynamics of interest is orders of magnitude slower than the typical atomic vibrational frequencies a straight-forward propagation of the equations of motions for the particles in the simulation can not reach time scales of relevance for modeling the slow dynamics.
