<p>Style <em>resquared</em> computes the RE-squared anisotropic interaction
<a class="reference internal" href="#everaers"><span class="std std-ref">(Everaers)</span></a>, <a class="reference internal" href="#babadi"><span class="std std-ref">(Babadi)</span></a> between pairs of
ellipsoidal and/or spherical Lennard-Jones particles. For ellipsoidal
interactions, the potential considers the ellipsoid as being comprised
of small spheres of size sigma. LJ particles are a single sphere of
size sigma. The distinction is made to allow the pair style to make
efficient calculations of ellipsoid/solvent interactions.</p>
<p>Details for the equations used are given in the references below and
in <a class="reference external" href="PDF/pair_resquared_extra.pdf">this supplementary document</a>.</p>
<p>Use of this pair style requires the NVE, NVT, or NPT fixes with the
<em>asphere</em> extension (e.g. <a class="reference internal" href="fix_nve_asphere.html"><span class="doc">fix nve/asphere</span></a>) in
order to integrate particle rotation. Additionally, <a class="reference internal" href="atom_style.html"><span class="doc">atom_style ellipsoid</span></a> should be used since it defines the
rotational state and the size and shape of each ellipsoidal particle.</p>
<p>The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
types via the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_coeff.html"><span class="doc">pair_coeff</span></a> command as in the examples
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
option for the energy of the Lennard-Jones portion of the pair
interaction, but only for sphere-sphere interactions. There is no
shifting performed for ellipsoidal interactions due to the anisotropic
dependence of the interaction.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><span class="doc">pair_modify</span></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"><span class="doc">pair_modify</span></a>
tail option for adding long-range tail corrections to energy and
pressure.</p>
<p>This pair style writes its information to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><span class="doc">binary restart files</span></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>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 of the <a class="reference internal" href="run_style.html"><span class="doc">run_style command</span></a>.</p>
