Potential file not working

Dear all,

I am trying to run the following script to check this Uranium nitride (UN) potential downloaded from NIST website. But it gives an error saying incorrect pair coefficient. It works if the pair_coeff statement is written as " pair_coeff * * UNpotential.adp U " .The potential file has been attached with .txt extension. Please convert it to .adp while running. Thank you.

​the potential file has *nothing* to do with the error message. the error
you get is to be expected, since your input file defines only​ one atom
type. hence you can only map one entry/element of the potential to LAMMPS
atom types. please review the documentation for the adp atom style for more
details.
