|
|
<P>The <I>cossq</I> improper style uses the potential

|
<P>where x is the improper angle, x0 is its equilibrium value, and K is a
|
|
prefactor.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>If the 4 atoms in an improper quadruplet (listed in the data file read
|
|
by the <A HREF = "read_data.html">read_data</A> command) are ordered I,J,K,L then X
|
|
is the angle between the plane of I,J,K and the plane of J,K,L.
|
|
Alternatively, you can think of atoms J,K,L as being in a plane, and
|
|
atom I above the plane, and X as a measure of how far out-of-plane I
|
|
is with respect to the other 3 atoms.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Note that defining 4 atoms to interact in this way, does not mean that
|
|
bonds necessarily exist between I-J, J-K, or K-L, as they would in a
|
|
linear dihedral. Normally, the bonds I-J, I-K, I-L would exist for an
|
|
improper to be defined between the 4 atoms.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The following coefficients must be defined for each improper type via
|
|
the <A HREF = "improper_coeff.html">improper_coeff</A> command as in the example
|
|
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>K (energy/radian^2)
|
|
<LI>X0 (degrees)
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>X0 is specified in degrees, but LAMMPS converts it to radians
|
|
internally; hence the units of K are in energy/radian^2.

|
<P>Styles with a <I>cuda</I>, <I>gpu</I>, <I>intel</I>, <I>kk</I>, <I>omp</I>, or <I>opt</I> suffix are
|
|
functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix.
|
|
They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available
|
|
hardware, as discussed in <A HREF = "Section_accelerate.html">Section_accelerate</A>
|
|
of the manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and
|
|
should produce the same results, except for round-off and precision
|
|
issues.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA, GPU, USER-INTEL,
|
|
KOKKOS, USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only
|
|
enabled if LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_3">Making
|
|
LAMMPS</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 HREF = "Section_start.html#start_7">-suffix command-line
|
|
switch</A> when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
|
|
use the <A HREF = "suffix.html">suffix</A> command in your input script.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>See <A HREF = "Section_accelerate.html">Section_accelerate</A> of the manual for
|
|
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.

<P><B>Restrictions:</B>

</P>
|
|
<P>This improper 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.
