<P><B>Description:</B>
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>Reset the temperature of a group of atoms by explicitly rescaling
|
|
their velocities.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<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
|
|
beginning and end of the run. The <A HREF = "run.html">run</A> command documents
|
|
how to make the ramping take place across multiple runs.
|
|
</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>
|
|
<P>The keyword <I>region</I> applies the fix only to atoms that are in the
|
|
specified geometric region (and in the fix group). Since atoms can
|
|
enter/leave a region, this test is performed each timestep.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>A temp/rescale fix does not update the coordinates of its atoms. It
|
|
is normally used with a fix of style <I>nve</I> that does that. A
|
|
temp/rescale fix should not normally be used on atoms that also have
|
|
their temperature controlled by another fix - e.g. a
|
|
<A HREF = "fix_nvt.html">nvt</A> or <A HREF = "fix_langevin.html">langevin</A> fix.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This fix computes a temperature each timestep. To do this, the fix
|
|
creates its own compute of style "temp" or "temp/region", as if one of
|
|
these commands had been issued:
|
|
</P>
|
|
<PRE>compute fix-ID_temp group-ID temp
|
|
compute fix-ID_temp group-ID temp/region region-ID
|
|
</PRE>
|
|
<P>Which is used depends on whether a region was specified with the fix.
|
|
See the <A HREF = "compute_temp.html">compute temp</A> and <A HREF = "compute_temp_region.html">compute
|
|
temp/region</A> commands for details. Note that
|
|
the ID of the new compute is the fix-ID with underscore + "temp"
|
|
appended and the group for the new compute is the same as the fix
|
|
group.
|
|
</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
|
|
during thermodyanmic output via the <A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style
|
|
custom</A> command using the appropriate compute-ID.
|
|
It also means that changing attributes of <I>thermo_temp</I> will have no
|
|
effect on this fix. Alternatively, you can directly assign a new
|
|
compute (for calculating temeperature) that you have defined to this
|
|
fix via the <A HREF = "fix_modify.html">fix_modify</A> command. For consistency, if
|
|
using the keyword <I>region</I>, the compute you assign should also be of
|
|
style <I>temp/region</I>.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>This fix makes a contribution to the potential energy of the system
|
|
that can be included in thermodynamic output of potential energy using
|
|
the <A HREF = "fix_modify.html">fix_modify energy</A> option. The contribution can
|
|
also be printed by itself via the keyword <I>f_fix-ID</I> in the
|
|
<A HREF = "thermo_style.html">thermo_style custom</A> command. Note that because
|
|
this fix is invoked every N steps and thermodynamic info may be
|
|
printed every M steps, that unless M is a multiple of N, the energy
|
|
info accessed will not be for the current timestep.
