LJ1208¶

class hoomd.md.pair.LJ1208(nlist, default_r_cut=None, default_r_on=0.0, mode='none')¶

Bases: Pair

Lennard-Jones 12-8 pair force.

Parameters:

nlist (hoomd.md.nlist.NeighborList) – Neighbor list.
default_r_cut (float) – Default cutoff radius \([\mathrm{length}]\).
default_r_on (float) – Default turn-on radius \([\mathrm{length}]\).
mode (str) – Energy shifting/smoothing mode.

LJ1208 computes the Lennard-Jones 12-8 pair force on every particle in the simulation state.

Example:

nl = nlist.Cell()
lj1208 = pair.LJ1208(nl, default_r_cut=3.0)
lj1208.params[("A", "A")] = {
    "sigma": 1.0,
    "epsilon": 1.0,
}
lj1208.params[("A", "B")] = dict(epsilon=2.0, sigma=1.0)

\[U(r) = 4 \varepsilon \left[ \left( \frac{\sigma}{r} \right)^{12} - \left( \frac{\sigma}{r} \right)^{8} \right]\]
