If you want to initialize a nanometric sphere in your simulation, you can add a particle species with:
<species_name>.profile = parse_density_function
<species_name>.density_function(x,y,z) = n0 * ( ((x-x0)*(x-x0) + (y-y0)*(y-y0) + (z-z0)*(z-z0)) < R**2)This would add particles in your simulation according to density_function, meaning that n0 would be the number density of that species inside the sphere, x0,y0,z0 the center and R the radius of the sphere.
This example could be of help.
Otherwise, if what you want is to initialize a single macro particle in a given location, you can use <species_name>.injection_style = SingleParticle. In this case, you can check out this other example
You can find more details about particle initialization here.
Let me know if this answers your question! :)

Greetings!
I am attempting to implement a nanoparticle in a specific spot of my simulation, however i am unsure of how to actually implement one into an imput file. any help would be greatly appreciated!
