<P>Set the formula(s) LAMMPS uses to compute improper interactions

|
|
between quadruplets of atoms, which remain in force for the duration
|
|
|
|
|
of the simulation. The list of improper quadruplets is read in by a

<A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> or <A HREF = "read_restart.html">read_restart</A> command

from a data or restart file.

</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Hybrid models where impropers are computed using different improper
|
|
|
|
|
potentials can be setup using the <I>hybrid</I> improper style.
|
|
|
|

</P>
|
|
|

<P>The coefficients associated with a improper style can be specified in a

data or restart file or via the <A HREF = "improper_coeff.html">improper_coeff</A> command.

|
|
|
<P>Note that when both an improper and pair style is defined, the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "special_bond.html">special_bond</A> command often needs to be used to
|
|
|
|
|
turn off (or weight) the pairwise interactions that would otherwise
|
|
|
|
|
exist between the 4 bonded atoms.

<P>Improper styles are part of the "molecular" package or other packages
|
|
|
|
|
as noted in their documentation. They are only enabled if LAMMPS was
|
|
|
|
|
built with that package. See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#2_2">Making
