QUIP potentials are parametrized in electron-volts and Angstroms and
therefore should be used with LAMMPS metal "units"_units.html.
QUIP potentials are generally not designed to work with the scaling
factors set by the "special_bonds"_special_bonds.html command. The
recommended setting in molecular systems is to include all
interactions, i.e. to use {special_bonds lj 1.0 1.0 1.0}. The only
exception to this rule is if you know that your QUIP potential needs
to exclude bonded, 1-3, or 1-4 interactions and does not already do
this exclusion within QUIP.
