Description
"""""""""""
The *ilp/graphene/hbn* style computes the registry-dependent interlayer
potential (ILP) potential as described in :ref:`(Leven1) <Leven1>`,
:ref:`(Leven2) <Leven2>` and :ref:`(Maaravi) <Maaravi2>`.
The normals are calculated in the way as described
in :ref:`(Kolmogorov) <Kolmogorov2>`.
.. math::
E = & \frac{1}{2} \sum_i \sum_{j \neq i} V_{ij} \\
V_{ij} = & \mathrm{Tap}(r_{ij})\left \{ e^{-\alpha (r_{ij}/\beta -1)}
\left [ \epsilon + f(\rho_{ij}) + f(\rho_{ji})\right ] -
\frac{1}{1+e^{-d\left [ \left ( r_{ij}/\left (s_R \cdot r^{eff} \right ) \right )-1 \right ]}}
\cdot \frac{C_6}{r^6_{ij}} \right \}\\
\rho_{ij}^2 = & r_{ij}^2 - (\mathbf{r}_{ij} \cdot \mathbf{n}_i)^2 \\
\rho_{ji}^2 = & r_{ij}^2 - (\mathbf{r}_{ij} \cdot \mathbf{n}_j)^2 \\
f(\rho) = & C e^{ -( \rho / \delta )^2 } \\
\mathrm{Tap}(r_{ij}) = & 20\left ( \frac{r_{ij}}{R_{cut}} \right )^7 -
70\left ( \frac{r_{ij}}{R_{cut}} \right )^6 +
84\left ( \frac{r_{ij}}{R_{cut}} \right )^5 -
35\left ( \frac{r_{ij}}{R_{cut}} \right )^4 + 1
Where :math:`\mathrm{Tap}(r_{ij})` is the taper function which provides
a continuous cutoff (up to third derivative) for interatomic separations
larger than :math:`r_c` :ref:`(Maaravi) <Maaravi2>`. The definitions of
each parameter in the above equation can be found in :ref:`(Leven1)
<Leven1>` and :ref:`(Maaravi) <Maaravi2>`.
It is important to include all the pairs to build the neighbor list for
calculating the normals.
.. note::
This potential (ILP) is intended for interlayer interactions between two
different layers of graphene, hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) and their hetero-junction.
To perform a realistic simulation, this potential must be used in combination with
intralayer potential, such as :doc:`AIREBO <pair_airebo>` or :doc:`Tersoff <pair_tersoff>` potential.
To keep the intralayer properties unaffected, the interlayer interaction
within the same layers should be avoided. Hence, each atom has to have a layer
identifier such that atoms residing on the same layer interact via the
appropriate intralayer potential and atoms residing on different layers
interact via the ILP. Here, the molecule id is chosen as the layer identifier,
thus a data file with the "full" atom style is required to use this potential.
The parameter file (e.g. BNCH.ILP), is intended for use with *metal*
:doc:`units <units>`, with energies in meV. Two additional parameters,
*S*, and *rcut* are included in the parameter file. *S* is designed to
facilitate scaling of energies. *rcut* is designed to build the neighbor
list for calculating the normals for each atom pair.
.. note::
The parameters presented in the parameter file (e.g. BNCH.ILP),
are fitted with taper function by setting the cutoff equal to 16.0
Angstrom. Using different cutoff or taper function should be careful.
The parameters for atoms pairs between Boron and Nitrogen are fitted with
a screened Coulomb interaction :doc:`coul/shield <pair_coul_shield>`. Therefore,
to simulated the properties of h-BN correctly, this potential must be used in
combination with the pair style :doc:`coul/shield <pair_coul_shield>`.
.. note::
Four new sets of parameters of ILP for 2D layered Materials with bilayer and
bulk configurations are presented in :ref:`(Ouyang1) <Ouyang1>` and :ref:`(Ouyang2) <Ouyang2>`, respectively.
These parameters provide a good description in both short- and long-range interaction regimes.
While the old ILP parameters published in :ref:`(Leven2) <Leven2>` and
:ref:`(Maaravi) <Maaravi2>` are only suitable for long-range interaction
regime. This feature is essential for simulations in high pressure
regime (i.e., the interlayer distance is smaller than the equilibrium
distance). The benchmark tests and comparison of these parameters can
be found in :ref:`(Ouyang1) <Ouyang1>` and :ref:`(Ouyang2) <Ouyang2>`.
This potential must be used in combination with hybrid/overlay.
Other interactions can be set to zero using pair_style *none*\ .
This pair style tallies a breakdown of the total interlayer potential
energy into sub-categories, which can be accessed via the :doc:`compute pair <compute_pair>` command as a vector of values of length 2.
The 2 values correspond to the following sub-categories:
1. *E_vdW* = vdW (attractive) energy
2. *E_Rep* = Repulsive energy
To print these quantities to the log file (with descriptive column
headings) the following commands could be included in an input script:
.. code-block:: LAMMPS
compute 0 all pair ilp/graphene/hbn
variable Evdw equal c_0[1]
variable Erep equal c_0[2]
thermo_style custom step temp epair v_Erep v_Evdw

Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
This pair style does not support the pair_modify mix, shift, table, and
tail options.
This pair style does not write their information to binary restart
files, since it is stored in potential files. Thus, you need to
re-specify the pair_style and pair_coeff commands in an input script
that reads a restart file.
Restrictions
""""""""""""
This pair style is part of the INTERLAYER package. It is only enabled
if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the :doc:`Build package
<Build_package>` page for more info.
This pair style requires the newton setting to be *on* for pair
interactions.
The BNCH.ILP potential file provided with LAMMPS (see the potentials
directory) are parameterized for *metal* units. You can use this
potential with any LAMMPS units, but you would need to create your own
custom BNCH.ILP potential file with coefficients listed in the appropriate
units, if your simulation does not use *metal* units.
