magnitude should be scaled with the number of atoms in the group.
Since eflux is in units of energy/time, this means a larger value of N
will add/subtract a larger amount of energy each timestep the fix is
invoked. If heat is subtracted from the system too aggressively so
that the group's kinetic energy goes to zero, LAMMPS halts with an
error message.
