Description
"""""""""""
The *cosine/shift/exp* dihedral style uses the potential
.. math::
E = -U_{min}\frac{e^{-a U(\theta,\theta_0)}-1}{e^a-1} \quad\mbox{with}\quad U(\theta,\theta_0)=-0.5 \left(1+\cos(\theta-\theta_0) \right)
where :math:`U_{min}`, :math:`\theta`, and :math:`a` are defined for
each dihedral type.
The potential is bounded between :math:`\left[-U_{min}:0\right]` and the minimum is located
at the angle :math:`\theta_0`. The a parameter can be both positive or negative
and is used to control the spring constant at the equilibrium.
The spring constant is given by :math:`k=a e^a \frac{U_{min}}{2 \left(e^a-1\right)}`.
For :math:`a>3` and :math:`\frac{k}{U_{min}} = \frac{a}{2}` to better than 5% relative error. For negative
values of the a parameter, the spring constant is essentially zero,
and anharmonic terms takes over. The potential is furthermore well
behaved in the limit :math:`a \rightarrow 0`, where it has been implemented to linear
order in :math:`a` for :math:`a < 0.001`.
The following coefficients must be defined for each dihedral type via
the :doc:`dihedral_coeff <dihedral_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:`U_{min}` (energy)
* :math:`\theta` (angle)
* :math:`a` (real number)
----------
Styles with a *gpu*\ , *intel*\ , *kk*\ , *omp*\ , or *opt* suffix are
functionally the same as the corresponding style without the suffix.
They have been optimized to run faster, depending on your available
hardware, as discussed on the :doc:`Speed packages <Speed_packages>` doc
page. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and should
produce the same results, except for round-off and precision issues.
These accelerated styles are part of the GPU, USER-INTEL, KOKKOS,
USER-OMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the :doc:`Build package <Build_package>` doc page for more info.
You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the :doc:`-suffix command-line switch <Run_options>` when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can use the
:doc:`suffix <suffix>` command in your input script.
See the :doc:`Speed packages <Speed_packages>` doc page for more
instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.
