pair_style born/coul/long/cs command :h3
pair_style buck/coul/long/cs command :h3
[Syntax:]
pair_style style args :pre
style = {born/coul/long/cs} or {buck/coul/long/cs}
args = list of arguments for a particular style :ul
{born/coul/long/cs} args = cutoff (cutoff2)
cutoff = global cutoff for non-Coulombic (and Coulombic if only 1 arg) (distance units)
cutoff2 = global cutoff for Coulombic (optional) (distance units)
{buck/coul/long/cs} args = cutoff (cutoff2)
cutoff = global cutoff for Buckingham (and Coulombic if only 1 arg) (distance units)
cutoff2 = global cutoff for Coulombic (optional) (distance units) :pre

[Description:]
These pair styles are designed to be used with the adiabatic
core/shell model of "(Mitchell and Finchham)"_#MitchellFinchham. See
"Section 6.25"_Section_howto.html#howto_25 of the manual for an
overview of the model as implemented in LAMMPS.
These pair styles are identical to the "pair_style
born/coul/long"_pair_born.html and "pair_style
buck/coul/long"_pair_buck.html 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 "kspace_style"_kspace_style.html command.
More specifically, the short-range Coulomb interaction between a core
and its shell should be turned off using the
"special_bonds"_special_bonds.html 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
pair is treated, as follows
:c,image(Eqs/pair_cs.jpg)
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.
[Restrictions:]
These pair styles are part of the CORESHELL package. They are only
enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the "Making
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info.
