<P>This fix is designed for use with the pair_style comb command which
implements the COMB COMB (Charge-Optimized Many-Body) potential as
described in <A HREF = "#COMB_1">(COMB_1)</A> and <A HREF = "#COMB_2">(COMB_2)</A>. It performs
the charge equilibration portion of the calculation using the
so-called QEq method, whereby the charge on each atom is adjusted to

<P>Only charges on the atoms in the specified group are equilibrated.
The fix relies on the pair style (COMB in this case) to calculate the
per-atom electronegativity (effective force on the charges). An
electronegativity equalization calculation (or QEq) is performed in an
interative fashion, which in parallel requires communication at each
iteration for processors to exchange charge information about nearby
atoms with each other. See <A HREF = "#Rappe_and_Goddard">Rappe_and_Goddard</A> and
<A HREF = "#Rick_and_Stuart">Rick_and_Stuart</A> for details.

<P>During a run, charge equilibration is peformed every <I>Nevery</I> time
steps. Charge equilibration is also always enforced on the first step
of each run. The <I>precision</I> argument controls the tolerance for the
difference in electronegativity for all atoms during charge
equilibration. <I>Precision</I> is a trade-off between the cost of

Nevery = perform charge equilibration every this many steps :l

[Examples:]

[Description:]
This fix is designed for use with the pair_style comb command which
implements the COMB COMB (Charge-Optimized Many-Body) potential as
described in "(COMB_1)"_#COMB_1 and "(COMB_2)"_#COMB_2. It performs
the charge equilibration portion of the calculation using the
so-called QEq method, whereby the charge on each atom is adjusted to
minimize the energy of the system.
Only charges on the atoms in the specified group are equilibrated.
The fix relies on the pair style (COMB in this case) to calculate the
per-atom electronegativity (effective force on the charges). An
electronegativity equalization calculation (or QEq) is performed in an
interative fashion, which in parallel requires communication at each
iteration for processors to exchange charge information about nearby
atoms with each other. See "Rappe_and_Goddard"_#Rappe_and_Goddard and
"Rick_and_Stuart"_#Rick_and_Stuart for details.
During a run, charge equilibration is peformed every {Nevery} time
steps. Charge equilibration is also always enforced on the first step
of each run. The {precision} argument controls the tolerance for the
difference in electronegativity for all atoms during charge
equilibration. {Precision} is a trade-off between the cost of
performing charge equilibration (more iterations) and accuracy.
If the {file} keyword is used, then information about each
equilibration calculation is written to the specifed file.
[Restart, fix_modify, output, run start/stop, minimize info:]
No information about this fix is written to "binary restart
files"_restart.html. None of the "fix_modify"_fix_modify.html options
are relevant to this fix.
This fix produces a per-atom vector which can be accessed by various
"output commands"_Section_howto.html#4_15. The vector stores the
gradient of the charge on each atom. The per-atom values be accessed
on any timestep.
No parameter of this fix can be used with the {start/stop} keywords of
the "run"_run.html command. This fix is not invoked during "energy
minimization"_minimize.html.
[Restrictions:]
This fix command currently only supports "pair style {comb}"_pair_comb.html.
[Related commands:]
"pair_style comb"_pair_comb.html
[Default:]
No file output is performed.
