[Description:]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Set the formula(s) LAMMPS uses to compute pairwise interactions. In
|
|
|
|
|
LAMMPS, pair potentials are defined between pairs of atoms that are
|
|
|
|
|
within a cutoff distance and the set of active interactions typically
|
|
|
|
|
changes over time. See the "bond_style"_bond_style.html command to
|
|
|
|
|
define potentials between pairs of bonded atoms, which typically
|
|
|
|
|
remain in place for the duration of a simulation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In LAMMPS, pairwise force fields encompass a variety of interactions,
|
|
|
|
|
some of which include many-body effects, e.g. EAM, Stillinger-Weber,
|
2007-06-20 20:56:17 +08:00
|
|
|
Tersoff, REBO potentials. They are still classified as "pairwise"
|
|
|
|
|
potentials because the set of interacting atoms changes with time
|
2007-06-26 08:03:39 +08:00
|
|
|
(unlike molecular bonds) and thus a neighbor list is used to find
|
2006-11-29 01:00:29 +08:00
|
|
|
nearby interacting atoms.
|
2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hybrid models where specified pairs of atom types interact via
|
|
|
|
|
different pair potentials can be setup using the {hybrid} pair style.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The coefficients associated with a pair style are typically set for
|
|
|
|
|
each pair of atom types, and are specified by the
|
|
|
|
|
"pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html command or read from a file by the
|
|
|
|
|
"read_data"_read_data.html or "read_restart"_read_restart.html
|
2007-06-26 08:03:39 +08:00
|
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html command sets options for mixing of
|
|
|
|
|
type I-J interaction coefficients and adding energy offsets or tail
|
|
|
|
|
corrections to Lennard-Jones potentials. Details on these options as
|
|
|
|
|
they pertain to individual potentials are described on the doc page
|
|
|
|
|
for the potential. Likewise, info on whether the potential
|
|
|
|
|
information is stored in a "restart file"_write_restart.html or
|
|
|
|
|
whether the potential supports calculation of per-atom energy and
|
|
|
|
|
stress by the "compute epair/atom"_compute_epair_atom.html and
|
|
|
|
|
"compute stress/atom"_compute_stress_atom.html commands is given on
|
|
|
|
|
the potential doc page.
|
2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the formulas listed for each pair style, {E} is the energy of a
|
|
|
|
|
pairwise interaction between two atoms separated by a distance {r}.
|
|
|
|
|
The force between the atoms is the negative derivative of this
|
|
|
|
|
expression.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the pair_style command has a cutoff argument, it sets global
|
|
|
|
|
cutoffs for all pairs of atom types. The distance(s) can be smaller
|
|
|
|
|
or larger than the dimensions of the simulation box.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Typically, the global cutoff value can be overridden for a specific
|
|
|
|
|
pair of atom types by the "pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html command. The
|
|
|
|
|
pair style settings (including global cutoffs) can be changed by a
|
|
|
|
|
subsequent pair_style command using the same style. This will reset
|
|
|
|
|
the cutoffs for all atom type pairs, including those previously set
|
|
|
|
|
explicitly by a "pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html command. The exceptions
|
|
|
|
|
to this are that pair_style {table} and {hybrid} settings cannot be
|
|
|
|
|
reset. A new pair_style command for these styles will wipe out all
|
|
|
|
|
previously specified pair_coeff values.
