Description
"""""""""""
The *inversion/harmonic* improper style follows the Wilson-Decius
out-of-plane angle definition and uses an harmonic potential:
.. image:: Eqs/improper_inversion_harmonic.jpg
:align: center
where K is the force constant and omega is the angle evaluated for
all three axis-plane combinations centered around the atom I. For
the IL axis and the IJK plane omega looks as follows:
.. image:: JPG/umbrella.jpg
:align: center
Note that the *inversion/harmonic* angle term evaluation differs to
the :doc:`improper\_umbrella <improper_umbrella>` due to the cyclic
evaluation of all possible angles omega.
The following coefficients must be defined for each improper type via
the :doc:`improper\_coeff <improper_coeff>` command as in the example
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
:doc:`read\_data <read_data>` or :doc:`read\_restart <read_restart>`
commands:
* K (energy)
* omega0 (degrees)
If omega0 = 0 the potential term has a minimum for the planar
structure. Otherwise it has two minima at +/- omega0, with a barrier
in between.

""""""""""""
This improper style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
USER-MOFFF package. See the :doc:`Build package <Build_package>` doc
page for more info.
