pair_style beck command¶
Accelerator Variants: beck/gpu, beck/omp

Description¶
Style beck computes interactions based on the potential by (Beck), originally designed for simulation of Helium. It includes truncation at a cutoff distance Rc.
The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms types via the pair_coeff command as in the examples above, or in the data file or restart files read by the read_data or read_restart commands.
\(A\) (energy units)
\(B\) (energy-distance^6 units)
\(a\) (distance units)
\(\alpha\) (1/distance units)
\(\beta\) (1/distance^6 units)
cutoff (distance units)
The last coefficient is optional. If not specified, the global cutoff \(R_c\) is used.
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 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, INTEL, KOKKOS, OPENMP and OPT packages, respectively. They are only enabled if LAMMPS was built with those packages. See the Build package page for more info.
You can specify the accelerated styles explicitly in your input script by including their suffix, or you can use the -suffix command-line switch when you invoke LAMMPS, or you can use the suffix command in your input script.
See the Speed packages page for more instructions on how to use the accelerated styles effectively.
Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info¶
For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, coefficients must be specified. No default mixing rules are used.
This pair style does not support the pair_modify shift option for the energy of the pair interaction.
The pair_modify table option is not relevant for this pair style.
This pair style does not support the pair_modify tail option for adding long-range tail corrections.
This pair style writes its information to binary restart files, 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 run_style respa command. It does not support the inner, middle, outer keywords.
Restrictions¶
This pair style is part of the EXTRA-PAIR package. It is only enabled if LAMMPS was built with that package. See the Build package page for more info.
