    files: list
        List of files typically containing relevant potentials for the
        calculation
    parameters: dict
        Dictionary of settings to be passed into the input file for calculation.
    specorder: list
        Within LAAMPS, atoms are identified by an integer value starting from 1.
        This variable allows the user to define the order of the indices
        assigned to the atoms in the calculation, with the default
        if not given being alphabetical
    keep_tmp_files: bool
        Retain any temporary files created. Mostly useful for debugging.
    tmp_dir: str
        path/dirname (default None -> create automatically).
        Explicitly control where the calculator object should create
        its files. Using this option implies 'keep_tmp_files'
    no_data_file: bool
        Controls whether an explicit data file will be used for feeding
        atom coordinates into lammps. Enable it to lessen the pressure on
        the (tmp) file system. THIS OPTION MIGHT BE UNRELIABLE FOR CERTAIN
        CORNER CASES (however, if it fails, you will notice...).
    keep_alive: bool
        When using LAMMPS as a spawned subprocess, keep the subprocess
        alive (but idling when unused) along with the calculator object.
    always_triclinic: bool
        Force use of a triclinic cell in LAMMPS, even if the cell is
        a perfect parallelepiped.

        **Example**

Provided that the respective potential file is in the working directory, one
can simply run (note that LAMMPS needs to be compiled to work with EAM
potentials)
