<h2>Description</h2>
<p>The <em>cvff</em> improper style uses the potential</p>
<img alt="_images/improper_cvff.jpg" class="align-center" src="_images/improper_cvff.jpg" />
<p>where phi is the improper dihedral angle.</p>
<p>If the 4 atoms in an improper quadruplet (listed in the data file read
by the <a class="reference internal" href="read_data.html"><span class="doc">read_data</span></a> command) are ordered I,J,K,L then
the improper dihedral angle is between the plane of I,J,K and the
plane of J,K,L. Note that because this is effectively a dihedral
angle, the formula for this improper style is the same as for
<a class="reference internal" href="dihedral_harmonic.html"><span class="doc">dihedral_style harmonic</span></a>.</p>
<p>Note that defining 4 atoms to interact in this way, does not mean that
bonds necessarily exist between I-J, J-K, or K-L, as they would in a
linear dihedral. Normally, the bonds I-J, I-K, I-L would exist for an
improper to be defined between the 4 atoms.</p>
<p>The following coefficients must be defined for each improper type via
the <a class="reference internal" href="improper_coeff.html"><span class="doc">improper_coeff</span></a> command as in the example
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
<a class="reference internal" href="read_data.html"><span class="doc">read_data</span></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="read_restart.html"><span class="doc">read_restart</span></a>
commands:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>K (energy)</li>
<li>d (+1 or -1)</li>
<li>n (0,1,2,3,4,6)</li>
</ul>
<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 5</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 <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span class="std std-ref">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 class="std std-ref">-suffix command-line switch</span></a> 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 5</span></a> of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.</p>
</div>
<hr class="docutils" />
<div class="section" id="restrictions">
<h2>Restrictions</h2>
<p>This improper style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
MOLECULE package (which it is by default). See the <a class="reference internal" href="Section_start.html#start-3"><span class="std std-ref">Making LAMMPS</span></a> section for more info on packages.</p>
