<h2>Description</h2>
<p>The <em>edip</em> style computes a 3-body <a class="reference internal" href="#edip"><span class="std std-ref">EDIP</span></a> potential which is
popular for modeling silicon materials where it can have advantages
over other models such as the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_sw.html"><span class="doc">Stillinger-Weber</span></a> or
<a class="reference internal" href="pair_tersoff.html"><span class="doc">Tersoff</span></a> potentials. In EDIP, the energy E of a
system of atoms is</p>
<img alt="_images/pair_edip.jpg" class="align-center" src="_images/pair_edip.jpg" />
<p>where phi2 is a two-body term and phi3 is a three-body term. The
summations in the formula are over all neighbors J and K of atom I
within a cutoff distance = a.
Both terms depend on the local environment of atom I through its
effective coordination number defined by Z, which is unity for a
cutoff distance &lt; c and gently goes to 0 at distance = a.</p>
<p>Only a single pair_coeff command is used with the <em>edip</em> style which
specifies a EDIP potential file with parameters for all
needed elements. These are mapped to LAMMPS atom types by specifying
N additional arguments after the filename in the pair_coeff command,
where N is the number of LAMMPS atom types:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>filename</li>
<li>N element names = mapping of EDIP elements to atom types</li>
</ul>
<p>See the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_coeff.html"><span class="doc">pair_coeff</span></a> doc page for alternate ways
to specify the path for the potential file.</p>
<p>As an example, imagine a file Si.edip has EDIP values for Si.</p>
<p>EDIP files in the <em>potentials</em> directory of the LAMMPS
distribution have a &#8221;.edip&#8221; suffix. Lines that are not blank or
comments (starting with #) define parameters for a triplet of
elements. The parameters in a single entry correspond to the two-body
and three-body coefficients in the formula above:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>element 1 (the center atom in a 3-body interaction)</li>
<li>element 2</li>
<li>element 3</li>
<li>A (energy units)</li>
<li>B (distance units)</li>
<li>cutoffA (distance units)</li>
<li>cutoffC (distance units)</li>
<li>alpha</li>
<li>beta</li>
<li>eta</li>
<li>gamma (distance units)</li>
<li>lambda (energy units)</li>
<li>mu</li>
<li>tho</li>
<li>sigma (distance units)</li>
<li>Q0</li>
<li>u1</li>
<li>u2</li>
<li>u3</li>
<li>u4</li>
</ul>
<p>The A, B, beta, sigma parameters are used only for two-body interactions.
The eta, gamma, lambda, mu, Q0 and all u1 to u4 parameters are used only
for three-body interactions. The alpha and cutoffC parameters are used
for the coordination environment function only.</p>
<p>The EDIP potential file must contain entries for all the
elements listed in the pair_coeff command. It can also contain
entries for additional elements not being used in a particular
simulation; LAMMPS ignores those entries.</p>
<p>For a single-element simulation, only a single entry is required
(e.g. SiSiSi). For a two-element simulation, the file must contain 8
entries (for SiSiSi, SiSiC, SiCSi, SiCC, CSiSi, CSiC, CCSi, CCC), that
specify EDIP parameters for all permutations of the two elements
interacting in three-body configurations. Thus for 3 elements, 27
entries would be required, etc.</p>
<p>At the moment, only a single element parametrization is
implemented. However, the author is not aware of other
multi-element EDIP parametrizations. If you know any and
you are interest in that, please contact the author of
the EDIP package.</p>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p>Styles with a <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"><span class="doc">Section_accelerate</span></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 GPU, USER-INTEL, KOKKOS,
USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the <span class="xref std std-ref">Making LAMMPS</span> 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 <span class="xref std std-ref">-suffix command-line switch</span> when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the <a class="reference internal" href="suffix.html"><span class="doc">suffix</span></a> command in your input script.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="Section_accelerate.html"><span class="doc">Section_accelerate</span></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>This pair style does not support the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><span class="doc">pair_modify</span></a>
shift, table, and tail options.</p>
<p>This pair style does not write its information to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><span class="doc">binary restart files</span></a>, since it is stored in potential files. Thus, you
need to re-specify the pair_style and pair_coeff commands 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"><span class="doc">run_style respa</span></a> command. It does not support the
<em>inner</em>, <em>middle</em>, <em>outer</em> keywords.</p>
</div>
<hr class="docutils" />
<div class="section" id="restrictions">
<h2>Restrictions</h2>
<p>This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
USER-MISC package. See the <span class="xref std std-ref">Making LAMMPS</span>
section for more info on packages.</p>
<p>This pair style requires the <a class="reference internal" href="newton.html"><span class="doc">newton</span></a> setting to be &#8220;on&#8221;
for pair interactions.</p>
<p>The EDIP potential files provided with LAMMPS (see the potentials directory)
are parameterized for metal <a class="reference internal" href="units.html"><span class="doc">units</span></a>.
You can use the SW potential with any LAMMPS units, but you would need
to create your own EDIP potential file with coefficients listed in the
appropriate units if your simulation doesn&#8217;t use &#8220;metal&#8221; units.</p>
