<h2>Description</h2>
<p>The <em>lj/class2</em> styles compute a 6/9 Lennard-Jones potential given by</p>
<img alt="_images/pair_class2.jpg" class="align-center" src="_images/pair_class2.jpg" />
<p>Rc is the cutoff.</p>
<p>The <em>lj/class2/coul/cut</em> and <em>lj/class2/coul/long</em> styles add a
Coulombic term as described for the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_lj.html"><span class="doc">lj/cut</span></a> pair styles.</p>
<p>See <a class="reference internal" href="#pair-sun"><span class="std std-ref">(Sun)</span></a> for a description of the COMPASS class2 force field.</p>
<p>The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
types via the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_coeff.html"><span class="doc">pair_coeff</span></a> command as in the examples
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
<a class="reference internal" href="read_data.html"><span class="doc">read_data</span></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="read_restart.html"><span class="doc">read_restart</span></a>
commands, or by mixing as described below:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>epsilon (energy units)</li>
<li>sigma (distance units)</li>
<li>cutoff1 (distance units)</li>
<li>cutoff2 (distance units)</li>
</ul>
<p>The latter 2 coefficients are optional. If not specified, the global
class 2 and Coulombic cutoffs are used. If only one cutoff is
specified, it is used as the cutoff for both class 2 and Coulombic
interactions for this type pair. If both coefficients are specified,
they are used as the class 2 and Coulombic cutoffs for this type pair.
You cannot specify 2 cutoffs for style <em>lj/class2</em>, since it has no
Coulombic terms.</p>
<p>For <em>lj/class2/coul/long</em> only the class 2 cutoff can be specified
since a Coulombic cutoff cannot be specified for an individual I,J
type pair. All type pairs use the same global Coulombic cutoff
specified in the pair_style command.</p>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p>If the pair_coeff command is not used to define coefficients for a
particular I != J type pair, the mixing rule for epsilon and sigma for
all class2 potentials is to use the <em>sixthpower</em> formulas documented
by the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><span class="doc">pair_modify</span></a> command. The <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><span class="doc">pair_modify mix</span></a> setting is thus ignored for class2 potentials
for epsilon and sigma. However it is still followed for mixing the
cutoff distance.</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" />
<p><strong>Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info</strong>:</p>
<p>For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, the epsilon and sigma coefficients
and cutoff distance for all of the lj/class2 pair styles can be mixed.
Epsilon and sigma are always mixed with the value <em>sixthpower</em>. The
cutoff distance is mixed by whatever option is set by the pair_modify
command (default = geometric). See the &#8220;pair_modify&#8221; command for
details.</p>
<p>All of the lj/class2 pair styles support the
<a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><span class="doc">pair_modify</span></a> shift option for the energy of the
Lennard-Jones portion of the pair interaction.</p>
<p>The <em>lj/class2/coul/long</em> pair style does not support the
<a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><span class="doc">pair_modify</span></a> table option since a tabulation
capability has not yet been added to this potential.</p>
<p>All of the lj/class2 pair styles support the
<a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><span class="doc">pair_modify</span></a> tail option for adding a long-range
tail correction to the energy and pressure of the Lennard-Jones
portion of the pair interaction.</p>
<p>All of the lj/class2 pair styles write their information to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><span class="doc">binary restart files</span></a>, so pair_style and pair_coeff commands do
not need to be specified in an input script that reads a restart file.</p>
<p>All of the lj/class2 pair styles can only be used via the <em>pair</em>
keyword of the <a class="reference internal" href="run_style.html"><span class="doc">run_style respa</span></a> command. They do not
support the <em>inner</em>, <em>middle</em>, <em>outer</em> keywords.</p>
