ellipsoidal and/or spherical Lennard-Jones particles. For ellipsoidal
interactions, the potential considers the ellipsoid as being comprised
of small spheres of size sigma. LJ particles are a single sphere of
of small spheres of size sigma. LJ particles are a single sphere of
size sigma. The distinction is made to allow the pair style to make
efficient calculations of ellipsoid/solvent interactions.
