improper_style umbrella command :h3
[Syntax:]
improper_style umbrella :pre
[Examples:]
improper_style umbrella
improper_coeff 1 100.0 180.0 :pre
[Description:]
The {umbrella} improper style uses the following potential, which is
commonly referred to as a classic inversion and used in the
"DREIDING"_Section_howto.html#4_4 force field:
:c,image(Eqs/improper_umbrella.jpg)
where K is the force constant and omega is the angle between the IL
axis and the IJK plane:
:c,image(Eqs/umbrella.jpg)
If omega0 = 0 the potential term has a minimum for the planar
structure. Otherwise it has two minima at +/- omega0, with a barrier
in between.
See "(Mayo)"_#Mayo for a description of the DREIDING force field.
The following coefficients must be defined for each improper type via
the "improper_coeff"_improper_coeff.html command as in the example
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
"read_data"_read_data.html or "read_restart"_read_restart.html
commands:
K (energy)
omega0 (degrees) :ul
[Restrictions:]
This improper style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
"molecular" package (which it is by default). See the "Making
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#2_3 section for more info on packages.
[Related commands:]
"improper_coeff"_improper_coeff.html
[Default:] none
