[lammps-users] Hi, about lj/cut parameter

Dear Sir,

I am a little confused about the parameter of lj/cut potential. It seems to me that the manual does not specify how many parameters are there for lj/cut potential. I found someone write two, like pair_coeff * * 2.0 3.0, someone wrote three, like pair_coeff * * 2.0 3.0 6.0
And are they standing for epsilon sigma (cutoff), respectively?

Thank you very much.

Regard,
Zenan Qi

yes. it is explained in the manual.
the cutoff parameter is optional.
if not given, the global cutoff is used.
