pair_style spin/magelec command :h3
[Syntax:]
pair_style spin/magelec cutoff :pre
cutoff = global cutoff pair (distance in metal units) :ulb,l
:ule
[Examples:]
pair_style spin/magelec 4.5
pair_coeff * * magelec 4.5 0.00109 1.0 1.0 1.0 :pre
[Description:]
Style {spin/me} computes a magneto-electric interaction between
pairs of magnetic spins. According to the derivation reported in
"(Katsura)"_#Katsura1, this interaction is defined as:
:c,image(Eqs/pair_spin_me_interaction.jpg)
where si and sj are neighboring magnetic spins of two particles,
eij = (ri - rj)/|ri-rj| is the normalized separation vector between the
two particles, and E is an electric polarization vector.
The norm and direction of E are giving the intensity and the
direction of a screened dielectric atomic polarization (in eV).
From this magneto-electric interaction, each spin i will be submitted
to a magnetic torque omega, and its associated atom can be submitted to a
force F for spin-lattice calculations (see "fix_nve_spin"_fix_nve_spin.html),
such as:
:c,image(Eqs/pair_spin_me_forces.jpg)
with h the Planck constant (in metal units).
More details about the derivation of these torques/forces are reported in
"(Tranchida)"_#Tranchida4.

[Restrictions:]
All the {pair/spin} styles are part of the SPIN package. These styles
are only enabled if LAMMPS was built with this package, and if the
atom_style "spin" was declared. See the "Build
package"_Build_package.html doc page for more info.
