[Syntax:]

pair_style style args :pre

style = {lj/class2} or {lj/class2/coul/cut} or {lj/class2/coul/long}
args = list of arguments for a particular style :ul
  {lj/class2} args = cutoff
    cutoff = global cutoff for class 2 interactions (distance units)
  {lj/class2/coul/cut} args = cutoff (cutoff2)
    cutoff = global cutoff for class 2 (and Coulombic if only 1 arg) (distance units)
    cutoff2 = global cutoff for Coulombic (optional) (distance units)
  {lj/class2/coul/long} args = cutoff (cutoff2)
    cutoff = global cutoff for class 2 (and Coulombic if only 1 arg) (distance units)
    cutoff2 = global cutoff for Coulombic (optional) (distance units) :pre

[Description:]

The {lj/class2} styles compute a 6/9 Lennard-Jones potential given by

:c,image(Eqs/pair_class2.jpg)

Rc is the cutoff.

The {lj/class2/coul/cut} and {lj/class2/coul/long} styles add a
Coulombic term as described for the "lj/cut"_pair_lj.html pair styles.

See "(Sun)"_#Sun for a description of the COMPASS class2 force field.

The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
types via the "pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html command as in the examples
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
"read_data"_read_data.html or "read_restart"_read_restart.html
commands, or by mixing as described below:

epsilon (energy units)
sigma (distance units)
cutoff1 (distance units)
cutoff2 (distance units) :ul

The latter 2 coefficients are optional.  If not specified, the global
class 2 and Coulombic cutoffs are used.  If only one cutoff is
specified, it is used as the cutoff for both class 2 and Coulombic
interactions for this type pair.  If both coefficients are specified,
they are used as the class 2 and Coulombic cutoffs for this type pair.
You cannot specify 2 cutoffs for style {lj/class2}, since it has no
Coulombic terms.

For {lj/class2/coul/long} only the class 2 cutoff can be specified
since a Coulombic cutoff cannot be specified for an individual I,J
type pair.  All type pairs use the same global Coulombic cutoff
specified in the pair_style command.

:line

If the pair_coeff command is not used to define coefficients for a
particular I != J type pair, the mixing rule for epsilon and sigma for
all class2 potentials is to use the {sixthpower} formulas documented
by the "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html command.  The "pair_modify
mix"_pair_modify.html setting is thus ignored for class2 potentials
for epsilon and sigma.  However it is still followed for mixing the
cutoff distance.

Styles with a {cuda}, {gpu}, {intel}, {kk}, {omp}, or {opt} suffix are
functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix.
They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available
hardware, as discussed in "Section_accelerate"_Section_accelerate.html
of the manual.  The accelerated styles take the same arguments and
should produce the same results, except for round-off and precision
issues.

These accelerated styles are part of the USER-CUDA, GPU, USER-INTEL,
KOKKOS, USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively.  They are only
enabled if LAMMPS was built with those packages.  See the "Making
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info.

You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the "-suffix command-line
switch"_Section_start.html#start_7 when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can
use the "suffix"_suffix.html command in your input script.

See "Section_accelerate"_Section_accelerate.html of the manual for
more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.

[Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info]:

For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, the epsilon and sigma coefficients
and cutoff distance for all of the lj/class2 pair styles can be mixed.
Epsilon and sigma are always mixed with the value {sixthpower}.  The
cutoff distance is mixed by whatever option is set by the pair_modify
command (default = geometric).  See the "pair_modify" command for
details.

All of the lj/class2 pair styles support the
"pair_modify"_pair_modify.html shift option for the energy of the
Lennard-Jones portion of the pair interaction.

The {lj/class2/coul/long} pair style does not support the
"pair_modify"_pair_modify.html table option since a tabulation
capability has not yet been added to this potential.

All of the lj/class2 pair styles support the
"pair_modify"_pair_modify.html tail option for adding a long-range
tail correction to the energy and pressure of the Lennard-Jones
portion of the pair interaction.

All of the lj/class2 pair styles write their information to "binary
restart files"_restart.html, so pair_style and pair_coeff commands do
not need to be specified in an input script that reads a restart file.

All of the lj/class2 pair styles can only be used via the {pair}
keyword of the "run_style respa"_run_style.html command.  They do not
support the {inner}, {middle}, {outer} keywords.

[Restrictions:]

These styles are part of the CLASS2 package.  They are only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package.  See the "Making
LAMMPS"_Section_start.html#start_3 section for more info.
