<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Perform the charge equilibration (QEq) method as described in <a class="reference internal" href="#rappe"><span class="std std-ref">(Rappe and Goddard)</span></a> and formulated in <a class="reference internal" href="neb.html#nakano"><span class="std std-ref">(Nakano)</span></a>. It is
typically used in conjunction with the ReaxFF force field model as
implemented in the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_reax_c.html"><span class="doc">pair_style reax/c</span></a> command, but
it can be used with any potential in LAMMPS, so long as it defines and
uses charges on each atom. The <a class="reference internal" href="fix_qeq_comb.html"><span class="doc">fix qeq/comb</span></a>
command should be used to perform charge equliibration with the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_comb.html"><span class="doc">COMB potential</span></a>. For more technical details about the
charge equilibration performed by fix qeq/reax, see the
<a class="reference internal" href="pair_reax_c.html#aktulga"><span class="std std-ref">(Aktulga)</span></a> paper.</p>
<p>The QEq method minimizes the electrostatic energy of the system by
adjusting the partial charge on individual atoms based on interactions
with their neighbors. It reqires some parameters for each atom type.
If the <em>params</em> setting above is the word &#8220;reax/c&#8221;, then these are
extracted from the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_reax_c.html"><span class="doc">pair_style reax/c</span></a> command and
the ReaxFF force field file it reads in. If a file name is specified
for <em>params</em>, then the parameters are taken from the specified file
and the file must contain one line for each atom type. The latter
form must be used when performing QeQ with a non-ReaxFF potential.
Each line should be formatted as follows:</p>
<div class="highlight-default"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="n">itype</span> <span class="n">chi</span> <span class="n">eta</span> <span class="n">gamma</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>where <em>itype</em> is the atom type from 1 to Ntypes, <em>chi</em> denotes the
electronegativity in eV, <em>eta</em> denotes the self-Coulomb
potential in eV, and <em>gamma</em> denotes the valence orbital
exponent. Note that these 3 quantities are also in the ReaxFF
potential file, except that eta is defined here as twice the eta value
in the ReaxFF file. Note that unlike the rest of LAMMPS, the units
of this fix are hard-coded to be A, eV, and electronic charge.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="restart-fix-modify-output-run-start-stop-minimize-info">
<h2>Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info</h2>
<p>No information about this fix is written to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><span class="doc">binary restart files</span></a>. No global scalar or vector or per-atom
quantities are stored by this fix for access by various <a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-15"><span class="std std-ref">output commands</span></a>. No parameter of this fix can
be used with the <em>start/stop</em> keywords of the <a class="reference internal" href="run.html"><span class="doc">run</span></a> command.</p>
<p>This fix is invoked during <a class="reference internal" href="minimize.html"><span class="doc">energy minimization</span></a>.</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 <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_accelerate</span></a> of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.</p>

<hr class="docutils" />
<div class="section" id="restrictions">
<h2>Restrictions</h2>
<p>This fix is part of the USER-REAXC package. It is only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package. 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>This fix does not correctly handle interactions
involving multiple periodic images of the same atom. Hence, it should not
be used for periodic cell dimensions less than 10 angstroms.</p>
