<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Style <em>zbl</em> computes the Ziegler-Biersack-Littmark (ZBL) screened nuclear
repulsion for describing high-energy collisions between atoms.
<a class="reference internal" href="#ziegler"><span>(Ziegler)</span></a>. It includes an additional switching function
that ramps the energy, force, and curvature smoothly to zero
between an inner and outer cutoff. The potential
energy due to a pair of atoms at a distance r_ij is given by:</p>
<img alt="_images/pair_zbl.jpg" class="align-center" src="_images/pair_zbl.jpg" />
<p>where e is the electron charge, epsilon_0 is the electrical
permittivity of vacuum, and Z_i and Z_j are the nuclear charges of the
two atoms. The switching function S(r) is identical to that used by
<a class="reference internal" href="pair_gromacs.html"><em>pair_style lj/gromacs</em></a>. Here, the inner and outer
cutoff are the same for all pairs of atom types.</p>
<p>The following coefficient must be defined for each pair of atom types
via the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_coeff.html"><em>pair_coeff</em></a> command as in the examples above,
or in the LAMMPS data file. Z can not be specified for two different
atoms types. Therefore the lists of atom types I and atom types J
must match.</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Z (multiples of proton charge, e.g. 13.0 for aluminum)</li>
</ul>
<p>Although Z must be defined for all atom type pairs I,J, it is only
stored for individual atom types, i.e. when I = J. Z is normally equal
to the atomic number of the atom type.</p>
<div class="admonition warning">
<p class="first admonition-title">Warning</p>
<p class="last">The numerical values of the exponential decay
constants in the screening function depend on the unit of distance. In
the above equation they are given for units of angstroms. LAMMPS will
automatically convert these values to the distance unit of the
specified LAMMPS <a class="reference internal" href="units.html"><em>units</em></a> setting. The values of Z should
always be given as multiples of a proton&#8217;s charge, e.g. 29.0 for
copper.</p>

<hr class="docutils" />
<p>Styles with a <em>cuda</em>, <em>gpu</em>, <em>intel</em>, <em>kk</em>, <em>omp</em>, or <em>opt</em> 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 class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><em>Section_accelerate</em></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-INTEL,
KOKKOS, USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only
enabled if LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span>Making LAMMPS</span></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 <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-7"><span>-suffix command-line switch</span></a> when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the <a class="reference internal" href="suffix.html"><em>suffix</em></a> command in your input script.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><em>Section_accelerate</em></a> of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.</p>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p><strong>Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info</strong>:</p>
<p>Mixing is not relevant for this pair style, since as explained above,
Z values are stored on a per-type basis, and both Zi and Zj are used
explicitly in the ZBL formula.</p>
<p>The ZBL pair style does not support the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><em>pair_modify</em></a>
shift option, since the ZBL interaction is already smoothed to 0.0 at
the cutoff.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><em>pair_modify</em></a> table option is not relevant for
this pair style.</p>
<p>This pair style does not support the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><em>pair_modify</em></a>
tail option for adding long-range tail corrections to energy and
pressure, since there are no corrections for a potential that goes to
0.0 at the cutoff.</p>
<p>This pair style does not write information to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><em>binary restart files</em></a>, so pair_style and pair_coeff commands must be
specified in an input script that reads a restart file.</p>
<p>This pair style can only be used via the <em>pair</em> keyword of the
<a class="reference internal" href="run_style.html"><em>run_style respa</em></a> command. It does not support the
<em>inner</em>, <em>middle</em>, <em>outer</em> keywords.</p>
