<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>The <em>harmonic</em> improper style uses the potential</p>
<div class="math notranslate nohighlight">
\[E = K (\chi - \chi_0)^2\]</div>
<p>where <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\chi\)</span> is the improper angle, <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\chi_0\)</span> is its equilibrium
value, and <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(K\)</span> is a prefactor. Note that the usual 1/2 factor is
included in <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(K\)</span>.</p>
<p>If the 4 atoms in an improper quadruplet (listed in the data file read
by the <a class="reference internal" href="read_data.html"><span class="doc">read_data</span></a> command) are ordered I,J,K,L then
<span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\chi\)</span>
is the angle between the plane of I,J,K and the plane of J,K,L.
Alternatively, you can think of atoms J,K,L as being in a plane, and
atom I above the plane, and <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\chi\)</span> as a measure of how far out-of-plane
I is with respect to the other 3 atoms.</p>
<p>Note that defining 4 atoms to interact in this way, does not mean that
bonds necessarily exist between I-J, J-K, or K-L, as they would in a
linear dihedral. Normally, the bonds I-J, I-K, I-L would exist for an
improper to be defined between the 4 atoms.</p>
<p>The following coefficients must be defined for each improper type via
the <a class="reference internal" href="improper_coeff.html"><span class="doc">improper_coeff</span></a> command as in the example
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
<a class="reference internal" href="read_data.html"><span class="doc">read_data</span></a> or <a class="reference internal" href="read_restart.html"><span class="doc">read_restart</span></a>
commands:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(K\)</span> (energy)</p></li>
<li><p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\chi_0\)</span> (degrees)</p></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\chi_0\)</span> is specified in degrees, but LAMMPS converts it to
radians internally; hence <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(K\)</span> is effectively energy per
radian^2.</p>
<hr class="docutils" />
<p>Styles with a <em>gpu</em>, <em>intel</em>, <em>kk</em>, <em>omp</em>, or <em>opt</em> 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 <a class="reference internal" href="Speed_packages.html"><span class="doc">Accelerator packages</span></a>
page. The accelerated styles take the same arguments and should
produce the same results, except for round-off and precision issues.</p>
<p>These accelerated styles are part of the GPU, INTEL, KOKKOS,
OPENMP, and OPT packages, respectively. They are only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Build_package.html"><span class="doc">Build package</span></a> page for more info.</p>
<p>You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script
by including their suffix, or you can use the <a class="reference internal" href="Run_options.html"><span class="doc">-suffix command-line switch</span></a> when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can use the
<a class="reference internal" href="suffix.html"><span class="doc">suffix</span></a> command in your input script.</p>
<p>See the <a class="reference internal" href="Speed_packages.html"><span class="doc">Accelerator packages</span></a> page for more
instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.</p>

<section id="restrictions">
<h2>Restrictions<a class="headerlink" href="#restrictions" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>This improper style can only be used if LAMMPS was built with the
MOLECULE package. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Build_package.html"><span class="doc">Build package</span></a> doc page
for more info.</p>
