< p > The < em > lj/cubic< / em > style computes a truncated LJ interaction potential
whose energy and force are continuous everywhere. Inside the
inflection point the interaction is identical to the standard 12/6
< a class = "reference internal" href = "pair_lj.html" > < em > Lennard-Jones< / em > < / a > potential. The LJ function outside the
inflection point is replaced with a cubic function of distance. The
energy, force, and second derivative are continuous at the inflection
point. The cubic coefficient A3 is chosen so that both energy and
force go to zero at the cutoff distance. Outside the cutoff distance
the energy and force are zero.< / p >

< p > The location of the inflection point rs is defined
by the LJ diameter, rs/sigma = (26/7)^1/6. The cutoff distance
is defined by rc/rs = 67/48 or rc/sigma = 1.737....
The analytic expression for the

distance for the potential, not as the energy minimum, which is
located at rmin = 2^(1/6)*sigma. In the above example, sigma =

< p > Styles with a < em > cuda< / em > , < em > gpu< / em > , < em > intel< / em > , < em > kk< / em > , < em > omp< / em > , or < em > opt< / em > suffix are
2014-08-15 00:30:25 +08:00
functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix.
They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
hardware, as discussed in < a class = "reference internal" href = "Section_accelerate.html" > < em > Section_accelerate< / em > < / a >
2014-08-15 00:30:25 +08:00
of the manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and
should produce the same results, except for round-off and precision
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
issues.< / p >
< p > These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA, GPU, USER-INTEL,
2014-08-15 00:30:25 +08:00
KOKKOS, USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
enabled if LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the < a class = "reference internal" href = "Section_start.html#start-3" > < span > Making LAMMPS< / span > < / a > section for more info.< / p >
< p > You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the < a class = "reference internal" href = "Section_start.html#start-7" > < span > -suffix command-line switch< / span > < / a > when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the < a class = "reference internal" href = "suffix.html" > < em > suffix< / em > < / a > command in your input script.< / p >
< p > See < a class = "reference internal" href = "Section_accelerate.html" > < em > Section_accelerate< / em > < / a > of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.< / p >

and cutoff distance for all of the lj/cut pair styles can be mixed.
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
The default mix value is < em > geometric< / em > . See the “ pair_modify” command
for details.< / p >
< p > The lj/cubic pair style does not support the
< a class = "reference internal" href = "pair_modify.html" > < em > pair_modify< / em > < / a > shift option,
2011-08-30 02:44:24 +08:00
since pair interaction is already smoothed to 0.0 at the
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
cutoff.< / p >
< p > The < a class = "reference internal" href = "pair_modify.html" > < em > pair_modify< / em > < / a > table option is not relevant
for this pair style.< / p >
< p > The lj/cubic pair style does not support the
< a class = "reference internal" href = "pair_modify.html" > < em > pair_modify< / em > < / a > tail option for adding long-range tail
2011-08-30 02:44:24 +08:00
corrections to energy and pressure, since there are no corrections for
2015-07-30 22:53:28 +08:00
a potential that goes to 0.0 at the cutoff.< / p >
< p > The lj/cubic pair style writes its information to < a class = "reference internal" href = "restart.html" > < em > binary restart files< / em > < / a > , so pair_style and pair_coeff commands do
not need to be specified in an input script that reads a restart file.< / p >
< p > The lj/cubic pair style can only be used via the < em > pair< / em >
keyword of the < a class = "reference internal" href = "run_style.html" > < em > run_style respa< / em > < / a > command. It does not
support the < em > inner< / em > , < em > middle< / em > , < em > outer< / em > keywords.< / p >
