Description
"""""""""""
Style *lj/expand* computes a LJ interaction with a distance shifted by
delta which can be useful when particles are of different sizes, since
it is different that using different sigma values in a standard LJ
formula:
.. math::
E = 4 \epsilon \left[ \left(\frac{\sigma}{r - \Delta}\right)^{12} -
\left(\frac{\sigma}{r - \Delta}\right)^6 \right]
\qquad r < r_c + \Delta
:math:`r_c` is the cutoff which does not include the :math:`\Delta`
distance. I.e. the actual force cutoff is the sum of :math:`r_c +
\Delta`.
For all of the *lj/expand* pair styles, 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)
* :math:`\Delta` (distance units)
* cutoff (distance units)
The :math:`\Delta` values can be positive or negative. The last
coefficient is optional. If not specified, the global LJ cutoff is
used.
For *lj/expand/coul/long* only the LJ cutoff can be specified since a
Coulombic cutoff cannot be specified for an individual I,J type pair.
All type pairs use the same global Coulombic cutoff specified in the
pair_style command.

Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, the epsilon, sigma, and shift
coefficients and cutoff distance for this pair style can be mixed.
Shift is always mixed via an *arithmetic* rule. The other
coefficients are mixed according to the pair_modify mix value. The
default mix value is *geometric*\ . See the "pair_modify" command for
details.
This pair style supports the :doc:`pair_modify <pair_modify>` shift
option for the energy of the pair interaction.
The :doc:`pair_modify <pair_modify>` table option is not relevant
for this pair style.
This pair style supports the :doc:`pair_modify <pair_modify>` tail
option for adding a long-range tail correction to the energy and
pressure of the pair interaction.
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.
