[Syntax:]
pair_style style args :pre
style = {nm/cut} or {nm/cut/coul/cut} or {nm/cut/coul/long} :ulb,l
args = list of arguments for a particular style :l
{nm/cut} args = cutoff
cutoff = global cutoff for Pair interactions (distance units)
{nm/cut/coul/cut} args = cutoff (cutoff2)
cutoff = global cutoff for Pair (and Coulombic if only 1 arg) (distance units)
cutoff2 = global cutoff for Coulombic (optional) (distance units)
{nm/cut/coul/long} args = cutoff (cutoff2)
cutoff = global cutoff for Pair (and Coulombic if only 1 arg) (distance units)
cutoff2 = global cutoff for Coulombic (optional) (distance units) :pre

[Description:]
Style {nm} computes site-site interactions based on the N-M potential
by "Clarke"_#Clarke, mainly used for ionic liquids. A site can
represent a single atom or a united-atom site. The energy of an
interaction has the following form:
:c,image(Eqs/pair_nm.jpg)
Rc is the cutoff.
Style {nm/cut/coul/cut} adds a Coulombic pairwise interaction given by
:c,image(Eqs/pair_coulomb.jpg)
where C is an energy-conversion constant, Qi and Qj are the charges on
the 2 atoms, and epsilon is the dielectric constant which can be set
by the "dielectric"_dielectric.html command. If one cutoff is
specified in the pair_style command, it is used for both the NM and
Coulombic terms. If two cutoffs are specified, they are used as
cutoffs for the NM and Coulombic terms respectively.
Styles {nm/cut/coul/long} compute the same
Coulombic interactions as style {nm/cut/coul/cut} except that an
additional damping factor is applied to the Coulombic term so it can
be used in conjunction with the "kspace_style"_kspace_style.html
command and its {ewald} or {pppm} option. The Coulombic cutoff
specified for this style means that pairwise interactions within this
distance are computed directly; interactions outside that distance are
computed in reciprocal space.
For all of the {nm} pair styles, the following coefficients must
be defined for each pair of atoms types
via the "pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html command as in the
examples above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
"read_data"_read_data.html or "read_restart"_read_restart.html
commands.
E0 (energy units)
r0 (distance units)
n (unitless)
m (unitless)
cutoff1 (distance units)
cutoff2 (distance units) :ul
The latter 2 coefficients are optional. If not specified, the global
NM and Coulombic cutoffs specified in the pair_style command are used.
If only one cutoff is specified, it is used as the cutoff for both NM
and Coulombic interactions for this type pair. If both coefficients
are specified, they are used as the NM and Coulombic cutoffs for this
type pair. You cannot specify 2 cutoffs for style {nm}, since it
has no Coulombic terms.
For {nm/cut/coul/long} only the NM cutoff can be specified since a
Coulombic cutoff cannot be specified for an individual I,J type pair.
All type pairs use the same global Coulombic cutoff specified in the
pair_style command.
:line
[Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info]:
These pair styles do not support mixing. Thus, coefficients for all
I,J pairs must be specified explicitly.
All of the {nm} pair styles supports the
"pair_modify"_pair_modify.html shift option for the energy of the pair
interaction.
The {nm/cut/coul/long} pair styles support the
"pair_modify"_pair_modify.html table option since they can tabulate
the short-range portion of the long-range Coulombic interaction.
All of the {nm} pair styles support the "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html
tail option for adding a long-range tail correction to the energy and
pressure for the NM portion of the pair interaction.
All of the {nm} pair styles write their information to "binary restart
files"_restart.html, so pair_style and pair_coeff commands do not need
to be specified in an input script that reads a restart file.
All of the {nm} pair styles can only be used via the {pair} keyword of
the "run_style respa"_run_style.html command. They do not support the
{inner}, {middle}, {outer} keywords.

Styles with a {cuda}, {gpu}, {intel}, {kk}, {omp}, or {opt} 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 "Section_accelerate"_Section_accelerate.html
of the manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and
should produce the same results, except for round-off and precision
issues.
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 "Making
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info.
You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the "-suffix command-line
switch"_Section_start.html#start_7 when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the "suffix"_suffix.html command in your input script.
See "Section_accelerate"_Section_accelerate.html of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.
[Restrictions:]
These pair styles are part of the MISC package. It is only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the "Making
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info.
