peak height of the Gaussian function, and r_mh the peak position.

Examples of the use of the Gaussian potentials include implicit
|
|
solvent simulations of salt ions <A HREF = "#Lenart">(Lenart)</A> and of surfactants
|
|
<A HREF = "#Jusufi">(Jusufi)</A>. In these instances the Gaussian potential mimics
|
|
the hydration barrier between a pair of particles. The hydration
|
|
barrier is located at r_mh and has a width of sigma_h. The prefactor
|
|
determines the hight of the potential barrier.

<P>Styles with a <I>cuda</I>, <I>gpu</I>, <I>omp</I>, or <I>opt</I> 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 <A HREF = "Section_accelerate.html">Section_accelerate</A> of the
|
|
manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and should
|
|
produce the same results, except for round-off and precision issues.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA, GPU, USER-OMP and OPT
|
|
packages, respectively. They are only enabled if LAMMPS was built with
|
|
those packages. See the <A HREF = "Section_start.html#start_3">Making LAMMPS</A>
|
|
section for more info.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
|
|
by including their suffix, or you can use the "-suffix command-line
|
|
switch7_Section_start.html#start_6 when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
|
|
use the <A HREF = "suffix.html">suffix</A> command in your input script.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>See <A HREF = "Section_accelerate.html">Section_accelerate</A> of the manual for
|
|
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.

<P><B>Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info</B>:
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>These pair styles do not support mixing. Thus, coefficients for all
|
|
I,J pairs must be specified explicitly.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The <I>gauss</I> style does not support the <A HREF = "pair_modify.html">pair_modify</A>
|
|
shift option. There is no effect due to the Gaussian well beyond the
|
|
cutoff; hence reasonable cutoffs need to be specified.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The <I>gauss/cut</I> style supports the <A HREF = "pair_modify.html">pair_modify</A> shift
|
|
option for the energy of the Gauss-potential portion of the pair
|
|
interaction.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The <A HREF = "pair_modify.html">pair_modify</A> table and tail options are not
|
|
relevant for these pair styles.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>These pair styles write their 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>These pair styles can only be used via the <I>pair</I> keyword of the
|
|
<A HREF = "run_style.html">run_style respa</A> command. They do not support the
|
|
<I>inner</I>, <I>middle</I>, <I>outer</I> keywords.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>The <I>gauss</I> pair style tallies an "occupancy" count of how many Gaussian-well
|
|
sites have an atom within the distance at which the force is a maximum
|
|
= sqrt(0.5/b). This quantity can be accessed via the <A HREF = "compute_pair.html">compute
|
|
pair</A> command as a vector of values of length 1.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>To print this quantity to the log file (with a descriptive column
|
|
heading) the following commands could be included in an input script:
