<p>These pair styles are designed to be used with the adiabatic
core/shell model of <a class="reference internal" href="#mitchellfinchham"><span class="std std-ref">(Mitchell and Finchham)</span></a>. See
<a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-25"><span class="std std-ref">Section_howto 25</span></a> of the manual for an
overview of the model as implemented in LAMMPS.</p>
<p>These pair styles are identical to the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_born.html"><span class="doc">pair_style born/coul/long</span></a> and <a class="reference internal" href="pair_buck.html"><span class="doc">pair_style buck/coul/long</span></a> styles, except they correctly treat the
special case where the distance between two charged core and shell
atoms in the same core/shell pair approach r = 0.0. This needs
special treatment when a long-range solver for Coulombic interactions
is also used, i.e. via the <a class="reference internal" href="kspace_style.html"><span class="doc">kspace_style</span></a> command.</p>
<p>More specifically, the short-range Coulomb interaction between a core
and its shell should be turned off using the
<a class="reference internal" href="special_bonds.html"><span class="doc">special_bonds</span></a> command by setting the 1-2 weight
to 0.0, which works because the core and shell atoms are bonded to
each other. This induces a long-range correction approximation which
fails at small distances (~< 10e-8). Therefore, the Coulomb term which
is used to calculate the correction factor is extended by a minimal
distance (r_min = 1.0-6) when the interaction between a core/shell
<p>where C is an energy-conversion constant, Qi and Qj are the charges on
the core and shell, epsilon is the dielectric constant and r_min is the
minimal distance.</p>

<h2>Restrictions</h2>
<p>These pair styles are part of the CORESHELL package. They are 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>
