Difference in single point energy between GULP and LAMMPS

Dear Julian,

Thanks for your reply.

I have posted this question in the LAMMPS forum. https://matsci.org/t/coulombic-energy-comparsion-between-same-model-with-different-bond-terms/62050

The point is that the different bond topologies in lammps and gulp. therefore, the ‘o14 0.5’ excludes different non-bonded interactions, and the monopole-monopole (total) term in gulp gives a different coulombic energy.

the problem in my case is how to exclude the Cu-Cu bond from bond topology in gulp.

I have tried to output the connectivity for both cases with or without Cu-Cu bond term, but the results are the same.

here are my gin files for both cases with or without Cu-Cu bond term.
single_no-Cu-Cu.gin (10.7 KB)
single.gin (10.6 KB)
no_Cu-Cu.got (23.5 KB)
Cu-Cu.got (23.8 KB)

for both got files, you can see the monopole-monopole (total) term is the same, but actually, the bond topology is different, hence the excluded non-bonded interaction should be also different.

How can I make gulp distinguish that the bond topology is different in two gin files.

Thank you again.
