fix_modify AtC extrinsic electron_integration command
=====================================================
Syntax
""""""
.. parsed-literal::
fix_modify <AtC fixID> extrinsic electron_integration <integration_type> [<num_subcycle_steps>]
* AtC fixID = ID of :doc:`fix atc <fix_atc>` instance
* extrinsic electron_integration = name of the AtC sub-command
* integration_type = *explicit* or *implicit* or *steady*
* num_subcycle_steps = number of subcycle steps for the electron time integration (optional)
Examples

fix_modify AtC extrinsic electron_integration implicit
fix_modify AtC extrinsic electron_integration explicit 100
Description
"""""""""""
Switches between integration schemes for the electron temperature. The
number of subcycling steps used to integrate the electron temperature for
one LAMMPS timestep can be manually adjusted to capture fast electron
dynamics.
Restrictions
""""""""""""
For use only with the two_temperature type of the AtC fix (see
:doc:`fix atc <fix_atc>` command)
