The pppm/disp and pppm/disp/tip4p styles add a long-range -dispersion sum option for 1/r^6 potentials, similar to the -ewald/disp style. The 1/r^6 capability means that Lennard-Jones or -Buckingham potentials can be used without a cutoff, i.e. they become -full long-range potentials. +
The pppm/disp and pppm/disp/tip4p styles add a mesh-based long-range +dispersion sum option for 1/r^6 potentials (Isele-Holder), +similar to the ewald/disp style. The 1/r^6 capability means +that Lennard-Jones or Buckingham potentials can be used without a cutoff, +i.e. they become full long-range potentials.
For these styles, it is currently recommended that you set the dispersion mesh size and other parameters explicitly via the kspace_modify command, rather than let LAMMPS set them automatically. For example, a set of parameters that works well -for TIP4P water models is a LJ cutoff of 10 Angstrom, interpolation -order = 5 (the default), grid spacing = 4.17 Angstroms, and Ewald -parameter = 0.28. These parameters work well for the ik -differentiation. For the ad setting, a smaller grid is needed, -e.g. 3 Angstroms. +for surface systems when using real units is a LJ cutoff of 10 Angstrom, +interpolation order = 5 (the default), grid spacing = 4.17 Angstroms, +and Ewald parameter = 0.28.

Further information on the influence of the parameters +and how to choose them is described in (Isele-Holder).
