amorphize

amorphize(configuration, method, filename, object_id, amorphous_density=None, optimize_geometry_parameters=None)

Amorphizes the configuration using a particular method and saving the temporal results (for restarting or visualization) in filename

Parameters:
Returns:

An amorphized configuration

Return type:

BulkConfiguration

Example

This function requires the specification of a particular method to produce the amorphous material:

method = MolecularDynamicsMeltQuench(amorphous_quality=0.75)
amorphous = amorphize(reference, method, 'amorphous-Si.hdf5', 'amorphous')
