<p>Two example input scripts are given, including shocked alpha quartz
and shocked liquid methane. The input script first equilibrate an
initial state with the quantum thermal bath at the target temperature
and then apply the qbmsst to simulate shock compression with quantum
nuclear correction. The following two figures plot related quantities
for shocked alpha quartz.</p>

<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>This command performs the Quantum-Bath coupled Multi-Scale Shock
Technique (QBMSST) integration. See <a class="reference internal" href="#qi"><span>(Qi)</span></a> for a detailed
description of this method. The QBMSST provides description of the
thermodynamics and kinetics of shock processes while incorporating
quantum nuclear effects. The <em>shockvel</em> setting determines the steady
shock velocity that will be simulated along direction <em>dir</em>.</p>
<p>Quantum nuclear effects <a class="reference internal" href="fix_qtb.html"><em>(fix qtb)</em></a> can be crucial
especially when the temperature of the initial state is below the
classical limit or there is a great change in the zero point energies
between the initial and final states. Theoretical post processing
quantum corrections of shock compressed water and methane have been
reported as much as 30% of the temperatures <a class="reference internal" href="#goldman"><span>(Goldman)</span></a>. A
self-consistent method that couples the shock to a quantum thermal
bath described by a colored noise Langevin thermostat has been
developed by Qi et al <a class="reference internal" href="#qi"><span>(Qi)</span></a> and applied to shocked methane. The
onset of chemistry is reported to be at a pressure on the shock
Hugoniot that is 40% lower than observed with classical molecular
dynamics.</p>
<p>It is highly recommended that the system be already in an equilibrium
state with a quantum thermal bath at temperature of <em>T_init</em>. The fix
command <a class="reference internal" href="fix_qtb.html"><em>fix qtb</em></a> at constant temperature <em>T_init</em> could
be used before applying this command to introduce self-consistent
quantum nuclear effects into the initial state.</p>
<p>The parameters <em>q</em>, <em>mu</em>, <em>e0</em>, <em>p0</em>, <em>v0</em> and <em>tscale</em> are described
in the command <a class="reference internal" href="fix_msst.html"><em>fix msst</em></a>. The values of <em>e0</em>, <em>p0</em>, or
<em>v0</em> will be calculated on the first step if not specified. The
parameter of <em>damp</em>, <em>f_max</em>, and <em>N_f</em> are described in the command
<a class="reference internal" href="fix_qtb.html"><em>fix qtb</em></a>.</p>
<p>The fix qbmsst command couples the shock system to a quantum thermal
bath with a rate that is proportional to the change of the total
energy of the shock system, &lt;i&gt;etot&lt;/i&gt; - &lt;i&gt;etot&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;0&lt;/sub&gt;.
Here &lt;i&gt;etot&lt;/i&gt; consists of both the system energy and a thermal
term, see <a class="reference internal" href="#qi"><span>(Qi)</span></a>, and &lt;i&gt;etot&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sub&gt;0&lt;/sub&gt; = <em>e0</em> is the
initial total energy.</p>
<p>The <em>eta</em> (&lt;i&gt;&amp;eta;&lt;/i&gt;) parameter is a unitless coupling constant
between the shock system and the quantum thermal bath. A small <em>eta</em>
value cannot adjust the quantum temperature fast enough during the
temperature ramping period of shock compression while large <em>eta</em>
leads to big temperature oscillation. A value of <em>eta</em> between 0.3 and
1 is usually appropriate for simulating most systems under shock
compression. We observe that different values of <em>eta</em> lead to almost
the same final thermodynamic state behind the shock, as expected.</p>
<p>The quantum temperature is updated every <em>beta</em> (&lt;i&gt;&amp;beta;&lt;/i&gt;) steps
with an integration time interval <em>beta</em> times longer than the
simulation time step. In that case, &lt;i&gt;etot&lt;/i&gt; is taken as its
average over the past <em>beta</em> steps. The temperature of the quantum
thermal bath &lt;i&gt;T&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sup&gt;qm&lt;/sup&gt; changes dynamically according to
the following equation where &amp;Delta;&lt;i&gt;t&lt;/i&gt; is the MD time step and
&lt;i&gt;&amp;gamma;&lt;/i&gt; is the friction constant which is equal to the inverse
of the <em>damp</em> parameter.</p>

</font></center><p>The parameter <em>T_init</em> is the initial temperature of the quantum
thermal bath and the system before shock loading.</p>
<p>For all pressure styles, the simulation box stays orthorhombic in
shape. Parrinello-Rahman boundary conditions (tilted box) are
supported by LAMMPS, but are not implemented for QBMSST.</p>

<h2>Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info<a class="headerlink" href="#restart-fix-modify-output-run-start-stop-minimize-info" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>Because the state of the random number generator is not written to
<a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><em>binary restart files</em></a>, this fix cannot be restarted
&#8220;exactly&#8221; in an uninterrupted fashion. However, in a statistical
sense, a restarted simulation should produce similar behaviors of the
system as if it is not interrupted. To achieve such a restart, one
should write explicitly the same value for <em>q</em>, <em>mu</em>, <em>damp</em>, <em>f_max</em>,
<em>N_f</em>, <em>eta</em>, and <em>beta</em> and set <em>tscale</em> = 0 if the system is
compressed during the first run.</p>
<p>The progress of the QBMSST can be monitored by printing the global
scalar and global vector quantities computed by the fix. The global
vector contains five values in this order:</p>
<p>[<em>dhugoniot</em>, <em>drayleigh</em>, <em>lagrangian_speed</em>, <em>lagrangian_position</em>,
<em>quantum_temperature</em>]</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><em>dhugoniot</em> is the departure from the Hugoniot (temperature units).</li>
<li><em>drayleigh</em> is the departure from the Rayleigh line (pressure units).</li>
<li><em>lagrangian_speed</em> is the laboratory-frame Lagrangian speed (particle velocity) of the computational cell (velocity units).</li>
<li><em>lagrangian_position</em> is the computational cell position in the reference frame moving at the shock speed. This is the distance of the computational cell behind the shock front.</li>
<li><em>quantum_temperature</em> is the temperature of the quantum thermal bath &lt;i&gt;T&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sup&gt;qm&lt;/sup&gt;.</li>
</ol>
<p>To print these quantities to the log file with descriptive column
headers, the following LAMMPS commands are suggested. Here the
<a class="reference internal" href="fix_modify.html"><em>fix_modify</em></a> energy command is also enabled to allow
the thermo keyword <em>etotal</em> to print the quantity &lt;i&gt;etot&lt;/i&gt;. See
also the <a class="reference internal" href="thermo_style.html"><em>thermo_style</em></a> command.</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>fix fix_id all msst z

<p>The global scalar under the entry f_fix_id is the quantity of thermo
energy as an extra part of &lt;i&gt;etot&lt;/i&gt;. This global scalar and the
vector of 5 quantities can be accessed by various <a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-15"><span>output commands</span></a>. It is worth noting that the
temp keyword under the <a class="reference internal" href="thermo_style.html"><em>thermo_style</em></a> command print
the instantaneous classical temperature &lt;i&gt;T&lt;/i&gt;&lt;sup&gt;cl&lt;/sup&gt; as
