<P>The polynomial coefficients C1, C2, C3, C4 are computed by LAMMPS to
|
|
|
|
|
cause the force to vary smoothly from Rin to Rc. At Rin the force and
|
|
|
|
|
its 1st derivative will match the unsmoothed LJ formula. At Rc the
|
2007-02-20 02:03:15 +08:00
|
|
|
force and its 1st derivative will be 0.0.
|
|
|
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: this force smoothing causes the energy to be
|
|
|
|
|
discontinuous both in its values and 1st derivative. This can lead to
|
|
|
|
|
poor energy conservation and may require the use of a thermostat.
|
|
|
|
|

<P>For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, the epsilon, sigma, Rin
|
|
|
|
|
coefficients and the cutoff distance for this pair style can be mixed.
|
|
|
|
|
Rin is a cutoff value and is mixed like the cutoff. The other
|
|
|
|
|
coefficients are mixed according to the pair_modify mix option. The
|
|
|
|
|
default mix value is <I>geometric</I>. See the "pair_modify" command for
|
|
|
|
|
details.

<P>This pair style does not support the <A HREF = "pair_modify.html">pair_modify</A>

tail option for adding long-range tail corrections to energy and

pressure, since the energy of the pair interaction is smoothed to 0.0

<P>This pair style writes its information to <A HREF = "restart.html">binary restart
