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 interations - e.g. a value +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 pair_style command for more details. diff --git a/doc/dielectric.txt b/doc/dielectric.txt index dae126d393..7f21a3dc79 100644 --- a/doc/dielectric.txt +++ b/doc/dielectric.txt @@ -23,7 +23,7 @@ dielectric 2.0 :pre Set the dielectric constant for Coulombic interactions (pairwise and long-range) to this value.
