pair_style mie/cut command :h3
pair_style mie/cut/gpu command :h3

[Syntax:]

pair_style mie/cut cutoff :pre

cutoff = global cutoff for mie/cut interactions (distance units) :ul

[Examples:]

pair_style mie/cut 10.0
pair_coeff 1 1 0.72 3.40 23.00 6.66
pair_coeff 2 2 0.30 3.55 12.65 6.00
pair_coeff 1 2 0.46 3.32 16.90 6.31 :pre

[Description:]

The {mie/cut} style computes the Mie potential, given by

:c,image(Eqs/pair_mie.jpg)

Rc is the cutoff and C is a function that depends on the repulsive and
attractive exponents, given by:

:c,image(Eqs/pair_mie2.jpg)

Note that for 12/6 exponents, C is equal to 4 and the formula is the
same as the standard Lennard-Jones potential.

The following coefficients must be defined for each pair of atoms
types via the "pair_coeff"_pair_coeff.html command as in the examples
above, or in the data file or restart files read by the
"read_data"_read_data.html or "read_restart"_read_restart.html
commands, or by mixing as described below:

epsilon (energy units)
sigma (distance units)
gammaR
gammaA
cutoff (distance units) :ul

The last coefficient is optional.  If not specified, the global
cutoff specified in the pair_style command is used.

[Mixing, shift, table, tail correction, restart, rRESPA info]:

For atom type pairs I,J and I != J, the epsilon and sigma coefficients
and cutoff distance for all of the mie/cut pair styles can be mixed.
If not explicitly defined, both the repulsive and attractive gamma
exponents for different atoms will be calculated following the same
mixing rule defined for distances.  The default mix value is
{geometric}. See the "pair_modify" command for details.

This pair style supports the "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html shift
option for the energy of the pair interaction.

This pair style supports the "pair_modify"_pair_modify.html tail
option for adding a long-range tail correction to the energy and
pressure of the pair interaction.

This pair style writes its information to "binary restart
files"_restart.html, 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 supports the use of the {inner}, {middle}, and {outer}
keywords of the "run_style respa"_run_style.html command, meaning the
pairwise forces can be partitioned by distance at different levels of
the rRESPA hierarchy.  See the "run_style"_run_style.html command for
details.
