pair potential style and LAMMPS (pairwise interactions and many-body effects)

In a script we have:
#potential

pair_style eam
pair_coeff * * Au_u3.eam

The command "pair_style" is very important.


Set the formula(s) LAMMPS uses to compute pairwise interactions. In LAMMPS, pair potentials are defined between pairs of atoms that are within a cutoff distance and the set of active interactions typically changes over time. See the bond_style command to define potentials between pairs of bonded atoms, which typically remain in place for the duration of a simulation.

In LAMMPS, pairwise force fields encompass a variety of interactions, some of which include many-body effects, e.g. EAM, Stillinger-Weber, Tersoff, REBO potentials. They are still classified as "pairwise" potentials because the set of interacting atoms changes with time (unlike molecular bonds) and thus a neighbor list is used to find nearby interacting atoms.

In the formulas listed for each pair style, E is the energy of a pairwise interaction between two atoms separated by a distance r. The force between the atoms is the negative derivative of this expression:

-∂E/∂r is a force

If the pair_style command has a cutoff argument, it sets global cutoffs for all pairs of atom types.

There are also additional accelerated pair styles (not listed on the pair_style doc page) included in the LAMMPS distribution for faster performance on CPUs and GPUs. The list of these with links to the individual styles are given in the pair section of this page.
