<p>Style <em>colloid</em> computes pairwise interactions between large colloidal

<p>where <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(A_{cc}\)</span> is the Hamaker constant, <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(a_1\)</span> and <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(a_2\)</span> are the
radii of the two colloidal particles, and <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(r_c\)</span> is the cutoff. This
equation results from describing each colloidal particle as an
integrated collection of Lennard-Jones particles of size sigma and is
derived in <a class="reference internal" href="#everaers1"><span class="std std-ref">(Everaers)</span></a>.</p>

<p>where <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(A_{cs}\)</span> is the Hamaker constant, <em>a</em> is the radius of the colloidal
particle, and <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(r_c\)</span> is the cutoff. This formula is derived from the
colloid-colloid interaction, letting one of the particle sizes go to
zero.</p>
<p>The solvent-solvent interaction energy is given by the usual
Lennard-Jones formula</p>
<div class="math notranslate nohighlight">
\[U = \frac{A_{ss}}{36} \left[ \left( \frac{\sigma}{r}
\right)^{12} - \left( \frac{ \sigma}{r} \right)^6 \right], \quad
r &lt; r_c\]</div>
<p>with <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(A_{ss}\)</span> set appropriately, which results from letting both
particle sizes go to zero.</p>
<p>When used in combination with <a class="reference internal" href="pair_yukawa_colloid.html"><span class="doc">pair_style yukawa/colloid</span></a>, the two terms become the so-called DLVO potential,
which combines electrostatic repulsion and van der Waals attraction.</p>
<p>The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
types via the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_coeff.html"><span class="doc">pair_coeff</span></a> command as in the examples
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, or by mixing as described below:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>A (energy units)</p></li>
<li><p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\sigma\)</span> (distance units)</p></li>
<li><p>d1 (distance units)</p></li>
<li><p>d2 (distance units)</p></li>
<li><p>cutoff (distance units)</p></li>
</ul>
<p>A is the Hamaker energy prefactor and should typically be set as
follows:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(A_{cc}\)</span> = colloid/colloid = <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(4 \pi^2 = 39.5\)</span></p></li>
<li><p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(A_{cs}\)</span> = colloid/solvent = <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\sqrt{A_{cc} A_{ss}}\)</span></p></li>
<li><p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(A_{ss}\)</span> = solvent/solvent = 144 (assuming epsilon = 1, so that 144/36 = 4)</p></li>
</ul>
<p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\sigma\)</span> is the size of the solvent particle or the constituent
particles integrated over in the colloidal particle and should typically
be set as follows:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\sigma_{cc}\)</span> = colloid/colloid = 1.0</p></li>
<li><p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\sigma_{cs}\)</span> = colloid/solvent = arithmetic mixing between colloid <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\sigma\)</span> and solvent <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\sigma\)</span></p></li>
<li><p><span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\sigma_{ss}\)</span> = solvent/solvent = 1.0 or whatever size the solvent particle is</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Thus typically <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\sigma_{cs} = 1.0\)</span>, unless the solvent particles size !=
1.0.</p>
<p>D1 and d2 are particle diameters, so that d1 = 2*a1 and d2 = 2*a2 in
the formulas above. Both d1 and d2 must be values &gt;= 0. If d1 &gt; 0
and d2 &gt; 0, then the pair interacts via the colloid-colloid formula
above. If d1 = 0 and d2 = 0, then the pair interacts via the
solvent-solvent formula. I.e. a d value of 0 is a Lennard-Jones
particle of size <span class="math notranslate nohighlight">\(\sigma\)</span>. If either d1 = 0 or d2 = 0 and the other is
larger, then the pair interacts via the colloid-solvent formula.</p>
<p>Note that the diameter of a particular particle type may appear in
multiple pair_coeff commands, as it interacts with other particle
types. You should ensure the particle diameter is specified
consistently each time it appears.</p>
<p>The last coefficient is optional. If not specified, the global cutoff
specified in the pair_style command is used. However, you typically
want different cutoffs for interactions between different particle
sizes. E.g. if colloidal particles of diameter 10 are used with
solvent particles of diameter 1, then a solvent-solvent cutoff of 2.5
would correspond to a colloid-colloid cutoff of 25. A good
rule-of-thumb is to use a colloid-solvent cutoff that is half the big
diameter + 4 times the small diameter. I.e. 9 = 5 + 4 for the
colloid-solvent cutoff in this case.</p>
<div class="admonition note">
<p class="admonition-title">Note</p>
<p>When using pair_style colloid for a mixture with 2 (or more)
widely different particles sizes (e.g. sigma=10 colloids in a
background sigma=1 LJ fluid), you will likely want to use these
commands for efficiency: <a class="reference internal" href="neighbor.html"><span class="doc">neighbor multi</span></a> and

<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>

<p>For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, the A, sigma, d1, and d2
coefficients and cutoff distance for this pair style can be mixed. A
is an energy value mixed like a LJ epsilon. D1 and d2 are distance
values and are mixed like sigma. The default mix value is
<em>geometric</em>. See the “pair_modify” command for details.</p>
<p>This pair style supports the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><span class="doc">pair_modify</span></a> shift
option for the energy of the pair interaction.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><span class="doc">pair_modify</span></a> table option is not relevant
for this pair style.</p>
<p>This pair style does not support the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_modify.html"><span class="doc">pair_modify</span></a>
tail option for adding long-range tail corrections to energy and
pressure.</p>
<p>This pair style writes its information to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><span class="doc">binary restart files</span></a>, so pair_style and pair_coeff commands do not need
to be specified in an input script that reads a restart file.</p>
<p>This pair style can only be used via the <em>pair</em> keyword of the
<a class="reference internal" href="run_style.html"><span class="doc">run_style respa</span></a> command. It does not support the
<em>inner</em>, <em>middle</em>, <em>outer</em> keywords.</p>

<section id="restrictions">
<h2>Restrictions<a class="headerlink" href="#restrictions" title="Link to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>This style is part of the COLLOID package. It is only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the <a class="reference internal" href="Build_package.html"><span class="doc">Build package</span></a> page for more info.</p>
<p>Normally, this pair style should be used with finite-size particles
which have a diameter, e.g. see the <a class="reference internal" href="atom_style.html"><span class="doc">atom_style sphere</span></a> command. However, this is not a requirement,
since the only definition of particle size is via the pair_coeff
parameters for each type. In other words, the physical radius of the
particle is ignored. Thus you should ensure that the d1,d2 parameters
you specify are consistent with the physical size of the particles of
that type.</p>
<p>Per-particle polydispersity is not yet supported by this pair style;
only per-type polydispersity is enabled via the pair_coeff parameters.</p>
