How to calculate the stress tensor ?
Posted: Fri Oct 10, 2008 7:38 am
Hello everyone, I want to obtain liquid viscosity by the Green-Kubo relation through ab-initio molecular dynamics simulation. The Green-Kubo relation is an integration of stress autocorrelation function S(t), which reads S(t)=Pxy(t)*Pxy(0). But I have no idea how to calculate the off-diagonal component of the stress tensor Pxy. Can this stress tensor be directly given in the OUTCAR file ? or can it be derived from the forces acted on the atoms? If it could be, how to set the INCAR file (ISIF=?) ?
Any positive help will be appreciated! Thanks all!
