Introduction

Forces on particles are a fundamental concept in condensed matter physics and chemistry. These forces describe the interactions that cause particles, such as atoms and molecules, to move and behave in specific ways. In VASP forces result from electromagnetic interactions which can be computed in a variety of ways. Understanding these forces is crucial for predicting and explaining the motion and behavior of atoms in solids or molecules. In VASP forces can be obtained from DFT by the use of the Hellmann-Feynman theorem from the random-phase approximation or by the use of machine learning force fields.
