23 The {edip} style computes a 3-body "EDIP"_#EDIP potential which is
24 popular for modeling silicon materials where it can have advantages
25 over other models such as the "Stillinger-Weber"_pair_sw.html or
26 "Tersoff"_pair_tersoff.html potentials. In EDIP, the energy E of a
29 :c,image(Eqs/pair_edip.jpg)
31 where phi2 is a two-body term and phi3 is a three-body term. The
32 summations in the formula are over all neighbors J and K of atom I
33 within a cutoff distance = a.
34 Both terms depend on the local environment of atom I through its
35 effective coordination number defined by Z, which is unity for a
36 cutoff distance < c and gently goes to 0 at distance = a.
38 Only a single pair_coeff command is used with the {edip} style which
39 specifies a EDIP potential file with parameters for all
40 needed elements. These are mapped to LAMMPS atom types by specifying
41 N additional arguments after the filename in the pair_coeff command,
42 where N is the number of LAMMPS atom types:
45 N element names = mapping of EDIP elements to atom types :ul
47 See the "pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html doc page for alternate ways
48 to specify the path for the potential file.
50 As an example, imagine a file Si.edip has EDIP values for Si.
52 EDIP files in the {potentials} directory of the LAMMPS
53 distribution have a ".edip" suffix. Lines that are not blank or
54 comments (starting with #) define parameters for a triplet of
55 elements. The parameters in a single entry correspond to the two-body
56 and three-body coefficients in the formula above:
58 element 1 (the center atom in a 3-body interaction)
63 cutoffA (distance units)
64 cutoffC (distance units)
68 gamma (distance units)
72 sigma (distance units)
79 The A, B, beta, sigma parameters are used only for two-body interactions.
80 The eta, gamma, lambda, mu, Q0 and all u1 to u4 parameters are used only
81 for three-body interactions. The alpha and cutoffC parameters are used
82 for the coordination environment function only.
84 The EDIP potential file must contain entries for all the
85 elements listed in the pair_coeff command. It can also contain
86 entries for additional elements not being used in a particular
87 simulation; LAMMPS ignores those entries.
89 For a single-element simulation, only a single entry is required
90 (e.g. SiSiSi). For a two-element simulation, the file must contain 8
91 entries (for SiSiSi, SiSiC, SiCSi, SiCC, CSiSi, CSiC, CCSi, CCC), that
92 specify EDIP parameters for all permutations of the two elements
93 interacting in three-body configurations. Thus for 3 elements, 27
94 entries would be required, etc.
96 At the moment, only a single element parametrization is
97 implemented. However, the author is not aware of other
98 multi-element EDIP parametrizations. If you know any and
99 you are interest in that, please contact the author of
104 Styles with a {gpu}, {intel}, {kk}, {omp}, or {opt} suffix are
105 functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix.
106 They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available
107 hardware, as discussed in "Section 5"_Section_accelerate.html
108 of the manual. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and
109 should produce the same results, except for round-off and precision
112 These accelerated styles are part of the GPU, USER-INTEL, KOKKOS,
113 USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only enabled if
114 LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the "Making
115 LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info.
117 You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
118 by including their suffix, or you can use the "-suffix command-line
119 switch"_Section_start.html#start_7 when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
120 use the "suffix"_suffix.html command in your input script.
122 See "Section 5"_Section_accelerate.html of the manual for
123 more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.
127 [Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info]:
129 This pair style does not support the "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html
130 shift, table, and tail options.
132 This pair style does not write its information to "binary restart
133 files"_restart.html, since it is stored in potential files. Thus, you
134 need to re-specify the pair_style and pair_coeff commands in an input
135 script that reads a restart file.
137 This pair style can only be used via the {pair} keyword of the
138 "run_style respa"_run_style.html command. It does not support the
139 {inner}, {middle}, {outer} keywords.
145 This angle style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
146 USER-MISC package. See the "Making LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3
147 section for more info on packages.
149 This pair style requires the "newton"_newton.html setting to be "on"
150 for pair interactions.
152 The EDIP potential files provided with LAMMPS (see the potentials directory)
153 are parameterized for metal "units"_units.html.
154 You can use the SW potential with any LAMMPS units, but you would need
155 to create your own EDIP potential file with coefficients listed in the
156 appropriate units if your simulation doesn't use "metal" units.
