Description
|
|
"""""""""""
|
|
|
|
The *distharm* improper style uses the potential
|
|
|
|
.. math::
|
|
|
|
E = K (d - d_0)^2
|
|
|
|
where :math:`d` is the oriented distance between the central atom and the plane formed
|
|
by the other three atoms. If the 4 atoms in an improper quadruplet
|
|
(listed in the data file read by the :doc:`read_data <read_data>`
|
|
command) are ordered I,J,K,L then the L-atom is assumed to be the
|
|
central atom. Note that this is different from the convention used
|
|
in the improper_style distance. The distance :math:`d` is oriented and can take
|
|
on negative values. This may lead to unwanted behavior if :math:`d_0` is not equal to zero.
|
|
|
|
The following coefficients must be defined for each improper type via
|
|
the improper_coeff command as in the example above, or in the data
|
|
file or restart files read by the read_data or read_restart commands:
|
|
|
|
* :math:`K` (energy/distance\^2)
|
|
* :math:`d_0` (distance)

This improper style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
|
|
USER-YAFF package. See the :doc:`Build package <Build_package>` doc
