pair_style lj/smooth/linear command
===================================
Accelerator Variants: *lj/smooth/linear/omp*
Syntax
""""""
.. code-block:: LAMMPS
pair_style lj/smooth/linear cutoff
* cutoff = global cutoff for Lennard-Jones interactions (distance units)
Examples
""""""""
.. code-block:: LAMMPS
pair_style lj/smooth/linear 2.5
pair_coeff * * 1.0 1.0
pair_coeff 1 1 0.3 3.0 9.0
Description
"""""""""""
Style *lj/smooth/linear* computes a truncated and force-shifted LJ
interaction (aka Shifted Force Lennard-Jones) that combines the
standard 12/6 Lennard-Jones function and subtracts a linear term based
on the cutoff distance, so that both, the potential and the force, go
continuously to zero at the cutoff Rc :ref:`(Toxvaerd) <Toxvaerd>`:
.. math::
\phi\left(r\right) & = 4 \epsilon \left[ \left(\frac{\sigma}{r}\right)^{12} -
\left(\frac{\sigma}{r}\right)^6 \right] \\
E\left(r\right) & = \phi\left(r\right) - \phi\left(R_c\right) - \left(r - R_c\right) \left.\frac{d\phi}{d r} \right|_{r=R_c} \qquad r < R_c
The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
types via the :doc:`pair_coeff <pair_coeff>` command as in the examples
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
:doc:`read_data <read_data>` or :doc:`read_restart <read_restart>`
commands, or by mixing as described below:
* :math:`\epsilon` (energy units)
* :math:`\sigma` (distance units)
* cutoff (distance units)
The last coefficient is optional. If not specified, the global
LJ cutoff specified in the pair_style command is used.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, the epsilon and sigma coefficients
and cutoff distance can be mixed. The default mix value is geometric.
See the "pair_modify" command for details.
This pair style does not support the :doc:`pair_modify <pair_modify>`
shift option for the energy of the pair interaction, since it goes
to 0.0 at the cutoff by construction.
The :doc:`pair_modify <pair_modify>` table option is not relevant
for this pair style.
This pair style does not support the :doc:`pair_modify <pair_modify>`
tail option for adding long-range tail corrections to energy and
pressure, since the energy of the pair interaction is smoothed to 0.0
at the cutoff.
This pair style writes its information to :doc:`binary restart files <restart>`, so pair_style and pair_coeff commands do not need
to be specified in an input script that reads a restart file.
This pair style can only be used via the *pair* keyword of the
:doc:`run_style respa <run_style>` command. It does not support the
*inner*\ , *middle*\ , *outer* keywords.
