ANDERSEN_PROB
In molecular dynamics with an Andersen thermostat (MDALGO=1
11), the temperature is maintained
via random collisions of atoms with the heat-bath.
The collision probability defined as the average number of collisions per atom and
a time-step can be specified using ANDERSEN_PROB:
ANDERSEN_PROB=
[real]
Default
ANDERSEN_PROB=0
Obviously, the setting ANDERSEN_PROB=0 (i.e. no collisions with the heat-bath) generates
microcanonical (
) ensemble.
