# This input script is a modified version of the example script lj_ehex.lmp
# which is part of the supplementary (open access) material of the paper
#
# P. Wirnsberger, D. Frenkel and C. Dellago,
# "An enhanced version of the heat exchange algorithm with excellent energy
# conservation properties", J. Chem. Phys. 143, 124104 (2015).

# Description:
# ------------
#
# This file is a LAMMPS input script for carrying out a NEMD simulation of
# Lennard-Jones using the eHEX/a algorithm. The run produces two files:
# "out.Tlj_ehex" contains the temperature profile and "out.Elj_ehex" the time
# evolution of the total energy.
