|
|
<P>The <I>cosine/shift/exp</I> angle style uses the potential
|

|
|
<P>where Umin, theta, and a are defined for each angle type.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The potential is bounded between [-Umin:0] and the minimum is
|
|
located at the angle theta0. The a parameter can be both positive or
|
|
negative and is used to control the spring constant at the
|
|
equilibrium.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The spring constant is given by k = A exp(A) Umin / [2 (Exp(a)-1)].
|
|
For a > 3, k/Umin = a/2 to better than 5% relative error. For negative
|
|
values of the a parameter, the spring constant is essentially zero,
|
|
and anharmonic terms takes over. The potential is furthermore well
|
|
behaved in the limit a -> 0, where it has been implemented to linear
|
|
order in a for a < 0.001. In this limit the potential reduces to the
|
|
cosineshifted potential.

|

<P>The following coefficients must be defined for each angle type via the

the data file or restart files read by the <A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A>

<P>This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the

USER-MISC package. See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_3">Making LAMMPS</A>

section for more info on packages.
