Dear LAMMPS users,
Today, I encountered a problem. This is about pair_hybrid command.
The part of my input script is shown as follows;
<case 1>
pair_style hybrid eam lj/cut 5.0
pair_coeff 2 2 eam Ni_u3
pair_coeff 1 1 lj/cut 0.5 1.2
pair_coeff 1 2 lj/cut 0.5 1.2
<case 2>
pair_style hybrid lj/cut 5.0 tersoff/zbl
pair_coeff 1 1 lj/cut 0.5 1.2
pair_coeff 1 2 lj/cut 0.5 1.2
pair_coeff 2 2 Sic.tersoff.zbl NULL Si
<case 3>
pair_style hybrid table spline 1001 eam
pair_coeff 1 1 ZBL.ArAr ZBL_ArAr 5.5
pair_coeff 1 2 ZBL.ArSi ZBL_ArSi 5.5
pair_coeff 2 2 eam Ni_u3
<case 4>
pair_style hybrid table spline 1001 tersoff/zbl
pair_coeff 1 1 ZBL.ArAr ZBL_ArAr 5.5
pair_coeff 1 2 ZBL.ArSi ZBL_ArSi 5.5
pair_coeff 2 2 SiC.tersoff.zbl NULL Si
Case 1 was made based on the example in manual and case 4 is my final object. 2 and 3 is a combination of case 1 and 4.
Interestingly, only for the case 1 was done without problem, but others show an error message of “ERROR: Pair coeff for hybrid has invalid style”.
I tried as many as I could try but in vain. I really appreciate if anyone tells me the solutions or indicates my faults.
Thanks in advance,
SP

You forgot to include the pair style for the tersoff style in some of your pair_coeff statements. You need to use "pair_coeff x y tersoff . . . " just like you used “pair_coeff x y eam” and “pair_coeff x y lj/cut.”
