Atomsk

Creating structures:
atomsk --create fcc 4.05 Al Al.cif lmp
 
Creating supercells:
atomsk Al.cif -duplicate 5 5 5 Al_supercell.cif
 
Creating surfaces:
atomsk Al_supercell.cif -cut above 10 [111] Al_cut.cif lmp
 
Creating point defects:
Vacancies:
atomsk Al_supercell.lmp -select random 1% Al -remove-atoms select Al_vaca_1%.lmp
 

Substitute atoms:

atomsk Al_supercell.lmp -select random 1% Al -substitute Al Fe Al_sub_Fe_1%.cif
atomsk Al_sub_Fe_1%.cif lmp
Interstitials:
 
atomsk Al_supercell.lmp -add-atom Fe random 50 Al_inter_Fe_10%.cif
Al_inter_Fe_10%.cif lmp
 
 
Script for creating various concentrations of defects:
set startPercentage=1
set endPercentage=20
set step=2

for /L %p in (%startPercentage%, %step%, %endPercentage%) do atomsk Al_supercell.lmp -select random %p%% Al -remove-atoms select Al_vaca_%p%%.lmp
