positive integers. They should also be unique, though LAMMPS does not

check for this. Typically they should also be consecutively numbered

since the IDs are used to encode the topology. Some other LAMMPS

<P>The only reason not to use atom IDs is if you are running an atomic

simulation so large that IDs cannot be uniquely assigned. For a
