Description

"""""""""""
|
|
|
|
Set the formula(s) LAMMPS uses to compute improper interactions
|
|
between quadruplets of atoms, which remain in force for the duration
|
|
of the simulation. The list of improper quadruplets is read in by a
|
|
:doc:`read_data <read_data>` or :doc:`read_restart <read_restart>` command
|
|
from a data or restart file. Note that the ordering of the 4 atoms in
|
|
an improper quadruplet determines the the definition of the improper
|
|
angle used in the formula for each style. See the doc pages of
|
|
individual styles for details.
|
|
|
|
Hybrid models where impropers are computed using different improper
|
|
potentials can be setup using the *hybrid* improper style.
|
|
|
|
The coefficients associated with an improper style can be specified in
|
|
a data or restart file or via the :doc:`improper_coeff <improper_coeff>`
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
All improper potentials store their coefficient data in binary restart
|
|
files which means improper_style and
|
|
:doc:`improper_coeff <improper_coeff>` commands do not need to be
|
|
re-specified in an input script that restarts a simulation. See the
|
|
:doc:`read_restart <read_restart>` command for details on how to do
|
|
this. The one exception is that improper_style *hybrid* only stores
|
|
the list of sub-styles in the restart file; improper coefficients need
|
|
to be re-specified.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
When both an improper and pair style is defined, the
|
|
:doc:`special_bonds <special_bonds>` command often needs to be used to
|
|
turn off (or weight) the pairwise interaction that would otherwise
|
|
exist between a group of 4 bonded atoms.
|
|
|

|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here is an alphabetic list of improper styles defined in LAMMPS.
|
|
Click on the style to display the formula it computes and coefficients
|
|
specified by the associated :doc:`improper_coeff <improper_coeff>`
|
|
command.
|
|
|
|
Note that there are also additional improper styles submitted by users
|
|
which are included in the LAMMPS distribution. The list of these with
|
|
links to the individual styles are given in the improper section of
|
|
:ref:`this page <cmd_5>`.
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`improper_style none <improper_none>` - turn off improper interactions
|
|
* :doc:`improper_style zero <improper_zero>` - topology but no interactions
|
|
* :doc:`improper_style hybrid <improper_hybrid>` - define multiple styles of improper interactions
|
|
|
|
* :doc:`improper_style class2 <improper_class2>` - COMPASS (class 2) improper
|
|
* :doc:`improper_style cvff <improper_cvff>` - CVFF improper
|
|
* :doc:`improper_style harmonic <improper_harmonic>` - harmonic improper
|
|
* :doc:`improper_style umbrella <improper_umbrella>` - DREIDING improper

Restrictions

""""""""""""
|
|
|
|
|
|
Improper styles can only be set for atom_style choices that allow
|
|
impropers to be defined.
|
|
|
|
Most improper styles are part of the MOLECULE package. They are only
|
|
enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the :ref:`Making LAMMPS <start_3>` section for more info on packages.
|
|
The doc pages for individual improper potentials tell if it is part of
|
|
a package.
