In common with all methods based on Verlet integration, the

discretized velocities generated by this method in conjunction with

velocity-Verlet time integration are not exactly conjugate to the

velocities) will be systematically lower than the target temperature,

The current implementation provides the user with the option to output
|

the velocity in one of two forms: {vfull} or {vhalf}, which replaces
|

the outdated option {yes}. The {gjf} option {vfull} outputs the on-site

velocity given in "Gronbech-Jensen/Farago"_#Gronbech-Jensen; this velocity
|

is shown to be systematically lower than the target temperature by a small

amount, which grows quadratically with the timestep.

The {gjf} option {vhalf} outputs the 2GJ half-step velocity given in

"Gronbech Jensen/Gronbech-Jensen"_#2Gronbech-Jensen; this velocity is shown

to not have any linear statistical errors for any stable time step.

As an example of using the {gjf} keyword, for molecules containing C-H

An example of a reason why to use the {gjf} keyword is the freedom to take a larger time step,
|
||||
up to the stability limit, while maintaining robust statistics. It is crucial to
|
||||
recall that while the equilibrium statistics is appropriately sampled, the correct dynamics
|
||||
of the trajectories may not be for large time steps, as is the case for all thermostats.
|
||||
All thermostats provide good statistics and dynamics for small time steps.
|
||||
The 2GJ half-step velocity {vhalf} samples the correct velocity distribution for the {gjf} trajectory.

Results of simulations using the {gjf} option with both {vfull} and {vhalf} compared to

other available thermostats are shown in the LAMMPS directory: examples/gjf.
