			dielectric command
			==================

			Syntax
			""""""

			.. parsed-literal::

			dielectric value

			* value = dielectric constant

			Examples
			""""""""

			.. parsed-literal::

			dielectric 2.0

			Description
			"""""""""""

			Set the dielectric constant for Coulombic interactions (pairwise and
			long-range) to this value. The constant is unitless, since it is used
			to reduce the strength of the interactions. The value is used in the
			denominator of the formulas for Coulombic interactions - e.g. a value
			of 4.0 reduces the Coulombic interactions to 25% of their default
			strength. See the :doc:`pair_style <pair_style>` command for more
			details.

			Restrictions
			""""""""""""
			none
