fix nvt/sllod/eff command
=========================
Syntax
""""""
.. code-block:: LAMMPS
fix ID group-ID nvt/sllod/eff keyword value ...
* ID, group-ID are documented in :doc:`fix <fix>` command
* nvt/sllod/eff = style name of this fix command
* zero or more keyword/value pairs may be appended
.. parsed-literal::
keyword = *psllod*
*psllod* value = *no* or *yes* = use SLLOD or p-SLLOD variant, respectively
* additional thermostat related keyword/value pairs from the :doc:`fix
nvt/eff <fix_nh_eff>` command may be appended, too.

Description
"""""""""""
Perform constant NVT integration to update positions and velocities each
timestep for nuclei and electrons in the group for the :doc:`electron
force field <pair_eff>` model, using a Nose/Hoover temperature
thermostat. V is volume; T is temperature. This creates a system
trajectory consistent with the canonical ensemble.
The operation of this fix is exactly like that described by the
:doc:`fix nvt/sllod <fix_nvt_sllod>` command, except that the radius and
radial velocity of electrons are also updated and thermostatted.
Likewise the temperature calculated by the fix, using the compute it
creates (as discussed in the :doc:`fix nvt, npt, and nph <fix_nh>` doc
page), is performed with a :doc:`compute temp/deform/eff
<compute_temp_deform_eff>` command that includes the eFF contribution to
the temperature from the electron radial velocity.

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
This fix writes the state of the Nose/Hoover thermostat to
:doc:`binary restart files <restart>`. See the :doc:`read_restart
<read_restart>` command for info on how to re-specify a fix in an
input script that reads a restart file, so that the operation of the
fix continues in an uninterrupted fashion.
The :doc:`fix_modify <fix_modify>` *temp* option is supported by this
fix. You can use it to assign a :doc:`compute <compute>` you have
defined to this fix which will be used in its thermostatting
procedure.
The cumulative energy change in the system imposed by this fix is
included in the :doc:`thermodynamic output <thermo_style>` keywords
*ecouple* and *econserve*. See the :doc:`thermo_style <thermo_style>`
doc page for details.
This fix computes the same global scalar and global vector of
quantities as does the :doc:`fix nvt/eff <fix_nh_eff>` command.
This fix can ramp its target temperature over multiple runs, using the
*start* and *stop* keywords of the :doc:`run <run>` command. See the
:doc:`run <run>` command for details of how to do this.
This fix is not invoked during :doc:`energy minimization <minimize>`.
Restrictions
""""""""""""
This fix is part of the EFF package. It is only enabled if
LAMMPS was built with that package. See the :doc:`Build package <Build_package>` page for more info.
This fix works best without Nose-Hoover chain thermostats, i.e. using
tchain = 1. Setting tchain to larger values can result in poor
equilibration.

Same as :doc:`fix nvt/eff <fix_nh_eff>`, except tchain = 1.
