The files are organized into directories corresponding to the figures of the main text. They include force field parameter files (in ReaxFF format), LAMMPS configuration files (*.in), ReaxFF control files (*.control), LAMMPS log files (*.log), and LAMMPS output including restart files (in binary LAMMPS format) and trajectories in dcd format (downsampled to 12.5 or 25 ps per frame) and also PDB and PSF files are useful for visualization with VMD. Analysis is performed by python and shell scripts (Bash-compatible) that call VMD Tcl scripts or python scripts. These scripts and their output are also included. The species analysis is performed by the VMD Tcl script "Figure3/analysis/count_hBN_species_NNB_BN.tcl" using the parameters given in "Figure3/analysis/doCount.sh". The directory contents are as follows. --- Figure-1: Parallel tempering simulations of the boron-nickel system and calculation of the boron concentration along the z-dimension of the nickel slab. The analysis of the boron concentration profile is performed by the VMD Tcl scripts calcRatioZRef.tcl and calcConcZRef.tcl using the parameters given in ...
