Style *list* computes interactions between explicitly listed pairs of
atoms with the option to select functional form and parameters for
each individual pair. Because the parameters are set in the list
file, the pair_coeff command has no parameters (but still needs to be
provided). The *check* and *nocheck* keywords enable/disable a test

pair_coeff command has no parameters (but still needs to be provided).
The *check* and *nocheck* keywords enable/disable tests that checks
whether all listed pairs of atom IDs were present and the interactions
computed. If *nocheck* is set and either atom ID is not present, the
interaction is skipped.
This pair style can be thought of as a hybrid between bonded,
non-bonded, and restraint interactions. It will typically be used as
an additional interaction within the *hybrid/overlay* pair style. It

This pair style does not use a neighbor list and instead identifies
atoms by their IDs. This has two consequences: 1) The cutoff has to be
chosen sufficiently large, so that the second atom of a pair has to be
a ghost atom on the same node on which the first atom is local;
otherwise the interaction will be skipped. You can use the *check*
option to detect, if interactions are missing. 2) Unlike other pair
styles in LAMMPS, an atom I will not interact with multiple images of
atom J (assuming the images are within the cutoff distance), but only
with the nearest image.
