compute gyration/molecule command :h3
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Syntax:]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
compute ID group-ID gyration/molecule :pre
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
ID, group-ID are documented in "compute"_compute.html command
|
||
|
|
gyration/molecule = style name of this compute command :ul
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Examples:]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
compute 1 molecule gyration/molecule :pre
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Description:]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Define a computation that calculates the radius of gyration Rg of
|
||
|
|
individual molecules. The calculation includes all effects due to
|
||
|
|
atoms passing thru periodic boundaries.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rg is a measure of the size of a molecule, and is computed by this
|
||
|
|
formula
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:c,image(Eqs/compute_gyration.jpg)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
where M is the total mass of the molecule and Rcm is the center-of-mass
|
||
|
|
position of the molecule.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Rg for a particular molecule is only computed if one or more of its
|
||
|
|
atoms are in the specified group. Normally all atoms in the molecule
|
||
|
|
should be in the group, however this is not required. LAMMPS will
|
||
|
|
warn you if this is not the case. Only atoms in the group contribute
|
||
|
|
to the Rg calculation for the molecule.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Let Nmolecules be the number of molecules for which Rg is calculated.
|
||
|
|
If not all molecules have atoms in the group, then the molecule with
|
||
|
|
the lowest ID is the first of the Nmolecules. The next lowest ID is
|
||
|
|
the second, etc, up to Nmolecules.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
IMPORTANT NOTE: The coordinates of an atom contribute to Rg in
|
||
|
|
"unwrapped" form, by using the image flags associated with each atom.
|
||
|
|
See the "dump custom"_dump.html command for a discussion of
|
||
|
|
"unwrapped" coordinates. See the Atoms section of the
|
||
|
|
"read_data"_read_data.html command for a discussion of image flags and
|
||
|
|
how they are set for each atom. You can reset the image flags
|
||
|
|
(e.g. to 0) before invoking this compute by using the "set
|
||
|
|
image"_set.html command.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[Output info:]
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This compute calculates a global vector of Rg values with the number
|
||
|
|
of elements = Nmolecules. These values can be used by any command
|
||
|
|
that uses a global vector values from a compute as input. See "this
|
||
|
|
section"_Section_howto.html#4_15 for an overview of LAMMPS output
|
||
|
|
options.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The vector values calculated by this compute are "intensive", meaning
|
||
|
|
it is independent of the number of atoms in the simulation.
