## This script first constructs an alpha quartz structure of a given size. It then uses fix qtb to equilibrate the computational cell to the specified temperature and pressure.
variable x_rep equal 2 #x-direction replication number
variable y_rep equal 2 #y-direction replication number
variable z_rep equal 2 #z-direction replication number
variable cut_off equal 10.0 #Cut-off distance for the Buckingham term (Angstrom in metal units)
variable pressure equal 1.03125 #Initial state pressure (bar in metal units)
variable temperature equal 300.0 #Initial state quantum temperature (K in metal units)
variable delta_t equal 1.0e-3 #MD timestep length (ps in metal units)
variable damp_qtb equal 1 #1/gamma where gamma is the friction coefficient in quantum thermal bath (ps in metal units)
