  H
  	H {Real}
  	Defines the h parameter of Tersoff potential
  	This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real.
  	Default value: -5.98260000E-01

  LAMBDA2
  	LAMBDA2 {Real}
  	Defines the lambda2 parameter of Tersoff potential
  	This keyword cannot be repeated and it expects precisely one real.
  	Default value: 1.73220000E+00
  	Default unit: [angstrom^-1]

  LAMBDA3
  	LAMBDA3 {Real}

  RCUT
  	RCUT {Real}
  	Defines the cutoff parameter of the tersoff potential. This parameter is in principle already defined by the values of bigD and bigR. But it is necessary to define it when using the tersoff in conjuction with other potentials (for the same atomic pair) in order to have the same consistent definition of RCUT for all potentials.

  	Default unit: [angstrom]
