<P><B>Description:</B>
</P>
<P>Style <I>beck/cut</I> computes interactions based on the potential by
<A HREF = "#Beck">(Beck)</A>, originally designed for simulation of Helium. It
includes truncation at a cutoff distance Rc.
</P>
<CENTER><IMG SRC = "Eqs/pair_beck_cut.jpg">
</CENTER>
<P>The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
types via the <A HREF = "pair_coeff.html">pair_coeff</A> command as in the examples
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
<A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> or <A HREF = "read_restart.html">read_restart</A>
commands.
</P>
<UL><LI>A (energy units)
<LI>B (energy-distance^6 units)
<LI>a (distance units)
<LI>alpha (1/distance units)
<LI>beta (1/distance^6 units)
<LI>cutoff (distance units)
</UL>
<P>The last coefficient is optional. If not specified, the global cutoff
Rc is used.

<P><B>Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info</B>:
</P>
<P>For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, coeffiecients must be specified.
No default miture rules are used.
</P>
<P>This pair style does not support the <A HREF = "pair_modify.html">pair_modify</A> shift
option for the energy of the pair interaction.
</P>
<P>The <A HREF = "pair_modify.html">pair_modify</A> table option is not relevant
for this pair style.
</P>
<P>This pair style does not support the <A HREF = "pair_modify.html">pair_modify</A>
tail option for adding long-range tail corrections.
</P>
<P>This pair style writes its information to <A HREF = "restart.html">binary restart
files</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>This pair style can only be used via the <I>pair</I> keyword of the
<A HREF = "run_style.html">run_style respa</A> command. It does not support the
<I>inner</I>, <I>middle</I>, <I>outer</I> keywords.
