The DL_MULTI Force Field

The DL_MULTI force field includes the following features:

  1. All common forms of non-bonded atom-atom potential;
  2. Atom-atom (site-site) Coulombic potentials;
  3. Atom-atom (site-site) distributed multipole potentials;

The following DL_POLY_2 force field features should not be used in DL_MULTI :

  1. Valence angle potentials;
  2. Dihedral angle potentials;
  3. Inversion potentials;
  4. Improper dihedral angle potentials;
  5. 3-body valence angle and hydrogen bond potentials;
  6. 4-body inversion potentials;
  7. Sutton-Chen density dependent potentials (for metals)
