improper_style distance command :h3
[Syntax:]
improper_style distance
[Examples:]
improper_style distance
improper_coeff 1 80.0 100.0 :pre
[Description:]
The {distance} improper style uses the potential
:c,image(Eqs/improper_dist-1.jpg)
where d is the distance between the central atom and the plane formed
by the other three atoms. If the 4 atoms in an improper quadruplet
(listed in the data file read by the "read_data"_read_data.html
command) are ordered I,J,K,L then the I-atom is assumed to be the
central atom.

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.
The following coefficients must be defined for each improper type via
the improper_coeff command as in the example above, or in the data
file or restart files read by the read_data or read_restart commands:
K_2 (energy/distance^2)
K_4 (energy/distance^4) :ul
:line
[Restrictions:]
This improper style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
USER-MISC package. See the "Making LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3
section for more info on packages.
