I am trying to set up a LAMMPS simulation for depositing graphene on a nickel substrate. I am using ReaxFF forcefield. However, the carbon atoms just pass through the nickel atoms. Can anyone help me with this? This is the link to my input file:

    $\begingroup$ +1 but why not add your input file so that people can see what you tried? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ You have created substrate (type 1) "create_atoms 1 region substrate".which line you are introducing graphene? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ I suspect something might be wrong with the * * ffield.reax.FC Ni C file. Are the atomic radii correct and in real units: ``` 10 ! Nr of atoms; cov.r ... C 1.3831 ... ``` $\endgroup$
