Morse potential¶
This module implements the Morse potential,
for the interaction between two particles of species and
.
- class halmd.mdsim.potentials.morse(args)¶
Construct Morse potential.
Parameters: - args (table) – keyword arguments
- args – keyword arguments
- args.epsilon (table) – matrix with elements
(default: 1)
- args.sigma (table) – matrix with elements
(default: 1)
- args.minimum (table) – Minimum/equilibrium distance
in units of
- args.cutoff (table) – matrix with elements
- args.species (number) – number of particle species (optional)
- args.memory (string) – select memory location (optional)
- args.label (string) – instance label (optional)
If the argument species is omitted, it is inferred from the first dimension of the parameter matrices.
If all elements of a matrix are equal, a scalar value may be passed instead which is promoted to a square matrix of size given by the number of particle species.
The supported values for memory are “host” and “gpu”. If memory is not specified, the memory location is selected according to the compute device.
Note
The cutoff is only relevant with halmd.mdsim.forces.pair_trunc.
