<p>This pair style does not write its information to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><span class="doc">binary restart files</span></a>, since it is stored in potential files. Thus, you
needs to re-specify the pair_style and pair_coeff commands in an input
script that reads a restart file.</p>

<p>This pair style is part of the USER-MGPT package and is only enabled
if LAMMPS is 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>The stored parmin and potin potential files provided with LAMMPS in
the “potentials” directory are written in Rydberg atomic units, with
energies in Rydbergs and distances in Bohr radii. The <em>mgpt</em> pair
style converts Rydbergs to Hartrees to make the potential files
compatible with LAMMPS electron <a class="reference internal" href="units.html"><span class="doc">units</span></a>.</p>
<p>The form of E_tot used in the <em>mgpt</em> pair style is only appropriate
for elemental bulk solids and liquids. This includes solids with
point and extended defects such as vacancies, interstitials, grain
boundaries and dislocations. Alloys and free surfaces, however,
require significant modifications, which are not included in the
<em>mgpt</em> pair style. Likewise, the <em>hybrid</em> pair style is not allowed,
where MGPT would be used for some atoms but not for others.</p>
<p>Electron-thermal effects are not included in the standard MGPT
potentials provided in the “potentials” directory, where the
potentials have been constructed at zero electron temperature.
Physically, electron-thermal effects may be important in 3d (e.g., V)
and 4d (e.g., Mo) transition metals at high temperatures near melt and
above. It is expected that temperature-dependent MGPT potentials for
