46 The {lj/mdf}, {buck/mdf} and {lennard/mdf} compute the standard 12-6
47 Lennard-Jones and Buckingham potential with the addition of a taper
48 function that ramps the energy and force smoothly to zero between an
49 inner and outer cutoff.
51 :c,image(Eqs/pair_mdf-1.jpg)
53 The tapering, {f(r)}, is done by using the Mei, Davenport, Fernando
54 function "(Mei)"_#Mei.

62 Here {r_m} is the inner cutoff radius and {r_cut} is the outer cutoff
67 For the {lj/mdf} pair_style, the potential energy, {E(r)}, is the
68 standard 12-6 Lennard-Jones written in the epsilon/sigma form:
70 :c,image(Eqs/pair_mdf-4.jpg)
72 The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
73 types via the pair_coeff command as in the examples above, or in the
74 data file or restart files read by the "read_data"_read_data.html or
75 "read_restart commands"_read_restart.html, or by mixing as described
78 epsilon (energy units)
79 sigma (distance units)
81 r_{cut} (distance units) :ul
85 For the {buck/mdf} pair_style, the potential energy, {E(r)}, is the
86 standard Buckingham potential:
88 :c,image(Eqs/pair_mdf-5.jpg)
92 C (energy-distance^6 units)
94 r_{cut}$ (distance units) :ul
98 For the {lennard/mdf} pair_style, the potential energy, {E(r)}, is the
99 standard 12-6 Lennard-Jones written in the $A/B$ form:
101 :c,image(Eqs/pair_mdf-6.jpg)
103 The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
104 types via the pair_coeff command as in the examples above, or in the
105 data file or restart files read by the read_data or read_restart
106 commands, or by mixing as described below:
108 A (energy-distance^12 units)
109 B (energy-distance^6 units)
111 r_{cut} (distance units) :ul
115 [Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info]:
117 For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, the epsilon and sigma coefficients
118 and cutoff distance for all of the lj/cut pair styles can be mixed.
119 The default mix value is {geometric}. See the "pair_modify" command
122 All of the {lj/cut} pair styles support the
123 "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html shift option for the energy of the
124 Lennard-Jones portion of the pair interaction.
126 The {lj/cut/coul/long} and {lj/cut/tip4p/long} pair styles support the
127 "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html table option since they can tabulate
128 the short-range portion of the long-range Coulombic interaction.
130 All of the {lj/cut} pair styles support the
131 "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html tail option for adding a long-range
132 tail correction to the energy and pressure for the Lennard-Jones
133 portion of the pair interaction.
135 All of the {lj/cut} pair styles write their information to "binary
136 restart files"_restart.html, so pair_style and pair_coeff commands do
137 not need to be specified in an input script that reads a restart file.
139 The {lj/cut} and {lj/cut/coul/long} pair styles support the use of the
140 {inner}, {middle}, and {outer} keywords of the "run_style
141 respa"_run_style.html command, meaning the pairwise forces can be
142 partitioned by distance at different levels of the rRESPA hierarchy.
143 The other styles only support the {pair} keyword of run_style respa.
144 See the "run_style"_run_style.html command for details.
150 These pair styles can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
151 USER-MISC package. See the "Making LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3
152 section for more info on packages.
