Description
"""""""""""
The *gaussian* bond style uses the potential:
.. math::
E = -k_B T ln\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{A_i}{w_i \sqrt{\pi/2}} exp\left( \frac{-2(r-r_{i})^2}{w_i^2}\right)\right)
This analytical form is a suitable potential for obtaining mesoscale
effective force fields which can reproduce target atomistic
distributions :ref:`(Milano) <Milano0>`
The following coefficients must be defined for each bond type via the
:doc:`bond_coeff <bond_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:
* :math:`T` temperature at which the potential was derived
* :math:`n` (integer >=1)
* :math:`A_1` (> 0, distance)
* :math:`w_1` (> 0, distance)
* :math:`r_1` (>= 0, distance)
* ...
* :math:`A_n` (> 0, distance)
* :math:`w_n` (> 0, distance)
* :math:`r_n` (>= 0, distance)
Restrictions
""""""""""""
This bond style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
EXTRA-MOLECULE package. See the :doc:`Build package <Build_package>`
doc page for more info.
