16 """"
17 Parameters:
19 atoms: Atoms object
20 The list of atoms.
22 timestep: float
23 The time step in ASE time units.
25 temperature_K: float
26 The desired temperature, in Kelvin.
28 andersen_prob: float
29 A random collision probability, typically 1e-4 to 1e-1.
30 With this probability atoms get assigned random velocity components.
32 fixcm: bool (optional)
33 If True, the position and momentum of the center of mass is
34 kept unperturbed. Default: True.
36 rng: RNG object (optional)
37 Random number generator, by default numpy.random. Must have a
38 random_sample method matching the signature of
39 numpy.random.random_sample.
41 logfile: file object or str (optional)
42 If *logfile* is a string, a file with that name will be opened.
43 Use '-' for stdout.
45 trajectory: Trajectory object or str (optional)
46 Attach trajectory object. If *trajectory* is a string a
47 Trajectory will be constructed. Use *None* (the default) for no
48 trajectory.
50 communicator: MPI communicator (optional)
51 Communicator used to distribute random numbers to all tasks.
52 Default: ase.parallel.world. Set to None to disable communication.
54 append_trajectory: bool (optional)
55 Defaults to False, which causes the trajectory file to be
56 overwritten each time the dynamics is restarted from scratch.
57 If True, the new structures are appended to the trajectory
58 file instead.
60 The temperature is imposed by stochastic collisions with a heat bath
61 that acts on velocity components of randomly chosen particles.
62 The algorithm randomly decorrelates velocities, so dynamical properties
63 like diffusion or viscosity cannot be properly measured.
