<h2>Description<a class="headerlink" href="#description" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Apply a Langevin thermostat as described in <a class="reference internal" href="#schneider"><span>(Schneider)</span></a>
to a group of nuclei and electrons in the <a class="reference internal" href="pair_eff.html"><em>electron force field</em></a> model. Used with <a class="reference internal" href="fix_nve_eff.html"><em>fix nve/eff</em></a>,
this command performs Brownian dynamics (BD), since the total force on
each atom will have the form:</p>
<div class="highlight-python"><div class="highlight"><pre>F = Fc + Ff + Fr
Ff = - (m / damp) v
Fr is proportional to sqrt(Kb T m / (dt damp))
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Fc is the conservative force computed via the usual inter-particle
interactions (<a class="reference internal" href="pair_style.html"><em>pair_style</em></a>).</p>
<p>The Ff and Fr terms are added by this fix on a per-particle basis.</p>
<p>The operation of this fix is exactly like that described by the <a class="reference internal" href="fix_langevin.html"><em>fix langevin</em></a> command, except that the thermostatting
is also applied to the radial electron velocity for electron
particles.</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>No information about this fix is written to <a class="reference internal" href="restart.html"><em>binary restart files</em></a>. Because the state of the random number generator
is not saved in restart files, this means you cannot do &#8220;exact&#8221;
restarts with this fix, where the simulation continues on the same as
if no restart had taken place. However, in a statistical sense, a
restarted simulation should produce the same behavior.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="fix_modify.html"><em>fix_modify</em></a> <em>temp</em> option is supported by this
fix. You can use it to assign a temperature <a class="reference internal" href="compute.html"><em>compute</em></a>
you have defined to this fix which will be used in its thermostatting
procedure, as described above. For consistency, the group used by
this fix and by the compute should be the same.</p>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="fix_modify.html"><em>fix_modify</em></a> <em>energy</em> option is supported by this
fix to add the energy change induced by Langevin thermostatting to the
system&#8217;s potential energy as part of <a class="reference internal" href="thermo_style.html"><em>thermodynamic output</em></a>. Note that use of this option requires
setting the <em>tally</em> keyword to <em>yes</em>.</p>
<p>This fix computes a global scalar which can be accessed by various
<a class="reference internal" href="Section_howto.html#howto-15"><span>output commands</span></a>. The scalar is the
cummulative energy change due to this fix. The scalar value
calculated by this fix is &#8220;extensive&#8221;. Note that calculation of this
quantity requires setting the <em>tally</em> keyword to <em>yes</em>.</p>
<p>This fix can ramp its target temperature over multiple runs, using the
<em>start</em> and <em>stop</em> keywords of the <a class="reference internal" href="run.html"><em>run</em></a> command. See the
<a class="reference internal" href="run.html"><em>run</em></a> command for details of how to do this.</p>
<p>This fix is not invoked during <a class="reference internal" href="minimize.html"><em>energy minimization</em></a>.</p>
