<P>where C is an energy-conversion constant, Qi and Qj are the charges on
|
|
the 2 atoms, epsilon is the dielectric constant which can be set by
|
|
the <A HREF = "dielectric.html">dielectric</A> command, and Rc is the cutoff. If
|
|
one cutoff is specified in the pair_style command, it is used for both
|
|
the LJ and Coulombic terms. If two cutoffs are specified, they are
|
|
used as cutoffs for the LJ and Coulombic terms respectively.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The purpose of this pair style is to capture long-range interactions
|
|
resulting from both attractive 1/r^6 Lennard-Jones and Coulombic 1/r
|
|
interactions. This is done by use of the <I>flag_lj</I> and <I>flag_coul</I>
|
|
settings. The <A HREF = "#Veld">In 't Veld</A> paper has more details on when it is
|
|
appropriate to include long-range 1/r^6 interactions, using this
|
|
potential.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>If <I>flag_lj</I> is set to <I>long</I>, no cutoff is used on the LJ 1/r^6
|
|
dispersion term. The long-range portion is calculated by using the
|
|
<A HREF = "kspace_style.html">kspace_style ewald/n</A> command. The specified LJ
|
|
cutoff then determines which portion of the LJ interactions are
|
|
computed directly by the pair potential versus which part is computed
|
|
in reciprocal space via the Kspace style. If <I>flag_lj</I> is set to
|
|
<I>cut</I>, the LJ interactions are simply cutoff, as with <A HREF = "pair_lj.html">pair_style
|
|
lj/cut</A>.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>If <I>flag_coul</I> is set to <I>long</I>, no cutoff is used on the Coulombic
|
|
interactions. The long-range portion is calculated by using any
|
|
style, including <I>ewald/n</I> of the <A HREF = "kspace_style.html">kspace_style</A>
|
|
command. Note that if <I>flag_lj</I> is also set to long, then only the
|
|
<I>ewald/n</I> Kspace style can perform the long-range calculations for
|
|
both the LJ and Coulombic interactions. If <I>flag_coul</I> is set to
|
|
<I>off</I>, Coulombic interactions are not computed.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
|
|
types via the <A HREF = "pair_coeff.html">pair_coeff</A> command as in the examples
|
|
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, or by mixing as described below:
|
|
</P>
|
|
<UL><LI>epsilon (energy units)
|
|
<LI>sigma (distance units)
|
|
<LI>cutoff1 (distance units)
|
|
<LI>cutoff2 (distance units)
|
|
</UL>
|
|
<P>Note that sigma is defined in the LJ formula as the zero-crossing
|
|
distance for the potential, not as the energy minimum at 2^(1/6)
|
|
sigma.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The latter 2 coefficients are optional. If not specified, the global
|
|
LJ and Coulombic cutoffs specified in the pair_style command are used.
|
|
If only one cutoff is specified, it is used as the cutoff for both LJ
|
|
and Coulombic interactions for this type pair. If both coefficients
|
|
are specified, they are used as the LJ and Coulombic cutoffs for this
|
|
type pair. Note that if you are using <I>flag_lj</I> set to <I>long</I>, you
|
|
cannot specify a LJ cutoff for an atom type pair, since only one
|
|
global LJ cutoff is allowed. Similarly, if you are using <I>flag_coul</I>
|
|
set to <I>long</I>, you cannot specify a Coulombic cutoff for an atom type
|
|
pair, since only one global Coulombic cutoff is allowed.

|
|
<P>For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, the epsilon and sigma coefficients
|
|
and cutoff distance for all of the lj/cut pair styles can be mixed.
|
|
The default mix value is <I>geometric</I>. See the "pair_modify" command
|
|
for details.

</P>

<P>This pair style supports the <A HREF = "pair_modify.html">pair_modify</A> shift
|
|
option for the energy of the Lennard-Jones portion of the pair
|
|
interaction, assuming <I>flag_lj</I> is <I>cut</I>.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This pair style supports the <A HREF = "pair_modify.html">pair_modify</A> table
|
|
option since it can tabulate the short-range portion of the long-range
|
|
Coulombic interaction.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This pair styles supports the <A HREF = "pair_modify.html">pair_modify</A> tail
|
|
option for adding a long-range tail correction to the Lennard-Jones
|
|
portion of the energy and pressure of the pair interaction, assuming
|
|
<I>flag_lj</I> is <I>cut</I>.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This pair style writes its information to <A HREF = "restart.html">binary restart
|
|
files</A>, so pair_style and pair_coeff commands do not need
|
|
to be specified in an input script that reads a restart file.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This pair style supports the use of the <I>inner</I>, <I>middle</I>, and <I>outer</I>
|
|
keywords of the <A HREF = "run_style.html">run_style respa</A> command, meaning the
|
|
pairwise forces can be partitioned by distance at different levels of
|
|
the rRESPA hierarchy. See the <A HREF = "run_style.html">run_style</A> command for
|
|
details.

<P><B>Restrictions:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This style is part of the "user-ewaldn" package. It is only enabled
|
|
if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#2_3">Making
|
|
LAMMPS</A> section for more info.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>On some 64-bit machines, compiling with -O3 appears to break the
|
|
Coulombic tabling option used by the <I>lj/coul</I> style. See the
|
|
"Additional build tips" section of the Making LAMMPS documentation
|
|
pages for workarounds on this issue.
