Set the Dynamics option for Multibinit. This option is equivalent to ionmov for numbers < 100. For numbers >100, it uses algorithms implemented inside Multibinit:
-
0 → do nothing
-
12 → Isokinetic ensemble molecular dynamics. The equation of motion of the ions in contact with a thermostat are solved with the algorithm proposed by Zhang [J. Chem. Phys. 106, 6102 (1997)], as worked out by Minary et al [J. Chem. Phys. 188, 2510 (2003)]. The conservation of the kinetic energy is obtained within machine precision, at each step. Purpose: Molecular dynamics Cell optimization: No (Use optcell=0 only)
-
13 → Isothermal/isenthalpic ensemble. The equation of motion of the ions in contact with a thermostat and a barostat are solved with the algorithm proposed by Martyna, Tuckermann Tobias and Klein [Mol. Phys., 1996, p. 1117]. If optcell=1 or 2, the mass of the barostat (bmass) must be given in addition. Purpose: Molecular dynamics Cell optimization: Yes (if optcell/=0) Related variables: The time step (dtion), the temperatures (mdtemp), the number of thermostats (nnos), and the masses of thermostats (qmass).
-
101 → NVE ensemble with velocity Verlet algorithm [Swope1982] . Purpose: Molecular dynamics Cell optimization: No (Use optcell=0 only) Related variables: The time step (dtion), the temperatures (temperature). The time step should be small enough to make the energy conserved. The temperature is set to intialize the velocities of the atoms, which is in principle not preserved during the NVE run.
-
102 → NVT ensemble with Langevin algorithm. [Vanden2006] . Purpose: Molecular dynamics Cell optimization: No (Use optcell=0 only) Related variables: The time step (dtion), the temperatures (temperature), the friction latt_friction. The atoms are coupled to the heat bath, which is represented by a gauss noise in the forces, whose amplitude is defined by the temperature, and a friction term.
-
103 → NVT ensemble. The temperature is approached by scaling the velocity of atoms. The method is proposed by Berendsen et al. in J. Chem. Phys., 81 3684–3690 (1984) [Berendsen1984]. Note that this method does NOT generate properly the thermostated ensemble. It does not have the correct distribution of the kinetic energy but have the correct average. However, it approches the target temperature exponentially without oscillation, for which the steps can be easily controlled. Purpose: Molecular dynamics Cell optimization: No (Use optcell=0 only) Related variables: The time step (dtion), the temperatures (temperature), the ion relaxation time latt_taut.
-
120 → Dummy mover. Atoms does not move. For testing only.
