2008-03-20 06:51:12 +08:00

<P>The rescaling is applied to only the translational degrees of freedom
|

|
|
for the particles, which is an important consideration if extended
|
|
|
|
|
spherical or aspherical particles which have rotational degrees of
|
|
|
|
|
freedom are being thermostatted with this fix. The translational
|
|
|
|
|
degrees of freedom can also have a bias velocity removed from them
|
|
|
|
|
before thermostatting takes place; see the description below.

</P>
|
2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00
|
|
|
<P>Rescaling is performed every N timesteps. The target temperature is a
|
|
|
|
|
ramped value between the <I>Tstart</I> and <I>Tstop</I> temperatures at the
|
2007-06-26 08:03:39 +08:00
|
|

beginning and end of the run.

2006-09-22 00:22:34 +08:00

</P>
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Rescaling is only performed if the difference between the current and
|
|
|
|
|
desired temperatures is greater than the <I>window</I> value. The amount
|
|
|
|
|
of rescaling that is applied is a <I>fraction</I> (from 0.0 to 1.0) of the
|
|
|
|
|
difference between the actual and desired temperature. E.g. if
|
|
|
|
|
<I>fraction</I> = 1.0, the temperature is reset to exactly the desired
|
|
|
|
|
value.

|
<P>IMPORTANT NOTE: Unlike the <A HREF = "fix_nvt.html">fix nvt</A> command which
|
|
|
|
|
performs Nose/Hoover thermostatting AND time integration, this fix
|
|
|
|
|
does NOT perform time integration. It only modifies velocities to
|
|
|
|
|
effect thermostatting. Thus you must use a separate time integration
|
|
|
|
|
fix, like <A HREF = "fix_nve.html">fix nve</A> to actually update the positions of
|
|
|
|
|
atoms using the modified velocities. Likewise, this fix should not
|
|
|
|
|
normally be used on atoms that also have their temperature controlled
|
|
|
|
|
by another fix - e.g. by <A HREF = "fix_nvt.html">fix nvt</A> or <A HREF = "fix_langevin.html">fix
|
|
|
|
|
langevin</A> commands.

<P>See <A HREF = "Section_howto.html#4_16">this howto section</A> of the manual for a

<P>This fix computes a temperature each timestep. To do this, the fix
|
2008-03-12 01:15:19 +08:00
|
|
|
creates its own compute of style "temp", as if one of this command had
|
|
|
|
|
been issued:

<P>See the <A HREF = "compute_temp.html">compute temp</A> for details. Note that the
|
|
|
|
|
ID of the new compute is the fix-ID + underscore + "temp", and the
|
|
|
|
|
group for the new compute is the same as the fix group.

2007-02-10 05:37:30 +08:00

</P>
|

|
|
|
<P>Note that this is NOT the compute used by thermodynamic output (see

|
|
|
|
the <A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style</A> command) with ID = <I>thermo_temp</I>.
|
|
|
|
|
This means you can change the attributes of this fix's temperature
|
|
|
|
|
(e.g. its degrees-of-freedom) via the
|
|
|
|
|
<A HREF = "compute_modify.html">compute_modify</A> command or print this temperature
|
2008-03-01 09:13:20 +08:00
|
|
|
during thermodynamic output via the <A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style
|
2007-02-10 05:37:30 +08:00
|
|
|
custom</A> command using the appropriate compute-ID.
|
|
|
|
|
It also means that changing attributes of <I>thermo_temp</I> will have no
|
2007-06-26 08:03:39 +08:00
|
|
|
effect on this fix.

2008-03-12 01:15:19 +08:00
|
|
|
<P>Like other fixes that perform thermostatting, this fix can be used
|
|
|
|
|
with <A HREF = "compute.html">compute commands</A> that calculate a temperature
|
|
|
|
|
after removing a "bias" from the atom velocities. E.g. removing the
|
|
|
|
|
center-of-mass velocity from a group of atoms or only calculating
|
|
|
|
|
temperature on the x-component of velocity or only calculating
|
|
|
|
|
temperature for atoms in a geometric region. This is not done by
|
|
|
|
|
default, but only if the <A HREF = "fix_modify.html">fix_modify</A> command is used
|
|
|
|
|
to assign a temperature compute to this fix that includes such a bias
|
|
|
|
|
term. See the doc pages for individual <A HREF = "compute.html">compute
|
|
|
|
|
commands</A> to determine which ones include a bias. In
|
|
|
|
|
this case, the thermostat works in the following manner: the current
|
|
|
|
|
temperature is calculated taking the bias into account, bias is
|
|
|
|
|
removed from each atom, thermostatting is performed on the remaining
|
|
|
|
|
thermal degrees of freedom, and the bias is added back in.
