Syntax¶
pair_style lj/BG cutoff1 cutoff2
cutoff1
= global internal cut-offcutoff2
= global external cut-off
Description¶
The Broughton and Gilmer1 modification to Lennard-Jones potential is given by:
where rln=|rl−rn| for each couple of atoms l,n in the system, and C1,C2,C3,C4,C5 are constants we used the values reported in Davidchack and Laird2
The constants are hardcorded within the pair style and they do not need to be defined.
