pair_style lj/expand command :h3
[Syntax:]
pair_style lj/expand cutoff :pre
cutoff = global cutoff for lj/expand interactions (distance units) :ul
[Examples:]
pair_style lj/expand 2.5
pair_coeff * * 1.0 1.0 0.5
pair_coeff 1 1 1.0 1.0 -0.2 2.0 :pre
[Description:]
Style {lj/expand} computes a LJ interaction with a distance shifted by
delta which can be useful when particles are of different sizes, since
it is different that using different sigma values in a standard LJ
formula:
:c,image(Eqs/pair_lj_expand.jpg)
Rc is the cutoff which does not include the delta distance. I.e. the
actual force cutoff is the sum of cutoff + delta.
The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
types via the "pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html command as in the examples
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
"read_data"_read_data.html or "read_restart"_read_restart.html
commands:
epsilon (energy units)
sigma (distance units)
delta (distance units)
cutoff (distance units) :ul
The delta values can be positive or negative. The last coefficient is
optional. If not specified, the global LJ cutoff is used.
If the pair_coeff command is not used to define coefficients for a
particular I != J type pair, the mixing rule is set by the
"pair_modify"_pair_modify.html command. Additionally, the delta
coefficient is always mixed by the rule
delta_ij = (delta_i + delta_j) / 2 :pre
[Restrictions:] none
