pair_style lj/smooth command :h3
|
|
pair_style lj/smooth/cuda command :h3
|
|
|
|
[Syntax:]
|
|
|
|
pair_style lj/smooth Rin Rc :pre
|
|
|
|
Rin = inner cutoff beyond which force smoothing will be applied (distance units)
|
|
Rc = outer cutoff for lj/smooth interactions (distance units) :ul
|
|
|
|
[Examples:]
|
|
|
|
pair_style lj/smooth 8.0 10.0
|
|
pair_coeff * * 10.0 1.5
|
|
pair_coeff 1 1 20.0 1.3 7.0 9.0 :pre
|
|
|
|
[Description:]
|
|
|
|
Style {lj/smooth} computes a LJ interaction with a force smoothing
|
|
applied between the inner and outer cutoff.
|
|
|
|
:c,image(Eqs/pair_lj_smooth.jpg)
|
|
|
|
The polynomial coefficients C1, C2, C3, C4 are computed by LAMMPS to
|
|
cause the force to vary smoothly from the inner cutoff Rin to the
|
|
outer cutoff Rc.
|
|
|
|
At the inner cutoff the force and its 1st derivative
|
|
will match the unsmoothed LJ formula. At the outer cutoff the force
|
|
and its 1st derivative will be 0.0. The inner cutoff cannot be 0.0.
|
|
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: this force smoothing causes the energy to be
|
|
discontinuous both in its values and 1st derivative. This can lead to
|
|
poor energy conservation and may require the use of a thermostat.
|
|
Plot the energy and force resulting from this formula via the
|
|
"pair_write"_pair_write.html command to see the effect.
|
|
|
|
The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
|
|
types via the "pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html command as in the examples
|
|
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
|
|
"read_data"_read_data.html or "read_restart"_read_restart.html
|
|
commands, or by mixing as described below:
|
|
|
|
epsilon (energy units)
|
|
sigma (distance units)
|
|
innner (distance units)
|
|
outer (distance units) :ul
|
|
|
|
The last 2 coefficients are optional inner and outer cutoffs. If not
|
|
specified, the global values for Rin and Rc are used.
|

|
|
Styles with a {cuda}, {gpu}, or {opt} 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 "this section"_Section_accelerate.html of the manual.
|
|
The accelerated styles take the same arguments and should produce the
|
|
same results, except for round-off and precision issues.
|
|
|
|
These accelerated styles are part of the "user-cuda", "gpu", and "opt"
|
|
packages respectively. They are only enabled if LAMMPS was built with
|
|
those packages. See the "Making LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#2_3
|
|
section for more info.
|
|
|
|
You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
|
|
by including their suffix, or you can use the "-suffix command-line
|
|
switch"_Section_start.html#2_6 when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can use
|
|
the "suffix"_suffix.html command in your input script.
|
|
|
|
See "this section"_Section_accelerate.html of the manual for more
|
|
instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.

[Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info]:
|
|
|
|
For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, the epsilon, sigma, Rin
|
|
coefficients and the cutoff distance for this pair style can be mixed.
|
|
Rin is a cutoff value and is mixed like the cutoff. The other
|
|
coefficients are mixed according to the pair_modify mix option. The
|
|
default mix value is {geometric}. See the "pair_modify" command for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
This pair style supports the "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html shift
|
|
option for the energy of the pair interaction.
|
|
|
|
The "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html table option is not relevant
|
|
for this pair style.
|
|
|
|
This pair style does not support the "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html
|
|
tail option for adding long-range tail corrections to energy and
|
|
pressure, since the energy of the pair interaction is smoothed to 0.0
|
|
at the cutoff.
|
|
|
|
This pair style writes its information to "binary restart
|
|
files"_restart.html, so pair_style and pair_coeff commands do not need
|
|
to be specified in an input script that reads a restart file.
|
|
|
|
This pair style can only be used via the {pair} keyword of the
|
|
"run_style respa"_run_style.html command. It does not support the
|
|
{inner}, {middle}, {outer} keywords.
