<h2>Description</h2>
<p>Style <em>reax</em> computes the ReaxFF potential of van Duin, Goddard and
co-workers. ReaxFF uses distance-dependent bond-order functions to
represent the contributions of chemical bonding to the potential
energy. There is more than one version of ReaxFF. The version
implemented in LAMMPS uses the functional forms documented in the
supplemental information of the following paper:
<a class="reference internal" href="pair_reax_c.html#chenoweth-2008"><span class="std std-ref">(Chenoweth)</span></a>. The version integrated into LAMMPS matches
the most up-to-date version of ReaxFF as of summer 2010.</p>
<p>WARNING: pair style reax is now deprecated and will soon be retired. Users
should switch to <a class="reference internal" href="pair_reax_c.html"><span class="doc">pair_style reax/c</span></a>. The <em>reax</em> style
differs from the <em>reax/c</em> style in the lo-level implementation details.
The <em>reax</em> style is a
Fortran library, linked to LAMMPS. The <em>reax/c</em> style was initially
implemented as stand-alone C code and is now integrated into LAMMPS as
a package.</p>
<p>LAMMPS requires that a file called ffield.reax be provided, containing
the ReaxFF parameters for each atom type, bond type, etc. The format
is identical to the ffield file used by van Duin and co-workers. The
filename is required as an argument in the pair_coeff command. Any
value other than “ffield.reax” will be rejected (see below).</p>
<p>LAMMPS provides several different versions of ffield.reax in its
potentials dir, each called potentials/ffield.reax.label. These are
documented in potentials/README.reax. The default ffield.reax
contains parameterizations for the following elements: C, H, O, N.</p>

<p>This pair style tallies a breakdown of the total ReaxFF potential
energy into sub-categories, which can be accessed via the <a class="reference internal" href="compute_pair.html"><span class="doc">compute pair</span></a> command as a vector of values of length 14.
The 14 values correspond to the following sub-categories (the variable
names in italics match those used in the ReaxFF FORTRAN library):</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><em>eb</em> = bond energy</li>
<li><em>ea</em> = atom energy</li>
<li><em>elp</em> = lone-pair energy</li>
<li><em>emol</em> = molecule energy (always 0.0)</li>
<p>This pair style does not support the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><span class="doc">pair_modify</span></a>
mix, shift, table, and tail options.</p>
<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
need to re-specify the pair_style and pair_coeff commands in an input
script that reads a restart file.</p>
