Designing ABO3 crystal structure with Lennard-Jones interatomic potentials

Abstract: In this paper, our goal is to design ABO3 crystal structure with simple interatomic Lennard-Jones (LJ) potentials and without setting any initial Bravais lattice and it is carried out by molecular dynamics (MD) simulation. In the simulation, the equilibrium distances between atoms are determined by LJ potentials. For the identification of the microstructure of simulated system, we have calculated the distribution functions of both the angles between one atom and its nearest neighbors and the distances between atoms and compared the results with those of ideal lattices. The results have clearly shown that we have successfully produced ABO3 crystal structure by MD simulation.
