Description
"""""""""""
Define a computation that calculates the temperature of a system based
on the center-of-mass velocity of atom pairs that are bonded to each
other. This compute is designed to be used with the adiabatic
core/shell model of :ref:`(Mitchell and Fincham) <MitchellFincham1>`.
See the :doc:`Howto coreshell <Howto_coreshell>` page for an overview of
the model as implemented in LAMMPS. Specifically, this compute enables
correct temperature calculation and thermostatting of core/shell pairs
where it is desirable for the internal degrees of freedom of the
core/shell pairs to not be influenced by a thermostat. A compute of
this style can be used by any command that computes a temperature via
:doc:`fix_modify <fix_modify>` (e.g., :doc:`fix temp/rescale
<fix_temp_rescale>`, :doc:`fix npt <fix_nh>`).
Note that this compute does not require all ions to be polarized, hence
defined as core/shell pairs. One can mix core/shell pairs and ions
without a satellite particle if desired. The compute will consider the
non-polarized ions according to the physical system.
For this compute, core and shell particles are specified by two
respective group IDs, which can be defined using the :doc:`group
<group>` command. The number of atoms in the two groups must be the
same and there should be one bond defined between a pair of atoms in the
two groups. Non-polarized ions which might also be included in the
treated system should not be included into either of these groups, they
are taken into account by the *group-ID* (second argument) of the
compute.
The temperature is calculated by the formula
.. math::
\text{KE} = \frac{\text{dim}}{2} N k_B T,
where KE is the total kinetic energy of the group of atoms (sum of
:math:`\frac12 m v^2`), dim = 2 or 3 is the dimensionality of the
simulation, :math:`N` is the number of atoms in the group, :math:`k_B`
is the Boltzmann constant, and :math:`T` is the absolute temperature.
Note that the velocity of each core or shell atom used in the KE
calculation is the velocity of the center-of-mass (COM) of the
core/shell pair the atom is part of.
A symmetric tensor, stored as a six-element vector, is also calculated
by this compute for use in the computation of a pressure tensor by the
:doc:`compute pressue <compute_pressure>` command. The formula for the
components of the tensor is the same as the above expression for
:math:`E_\mathrm{kin}`, except that the 1/2 factor is NOT included and
the :math:`v_i^2` is replaced by :math:`v_{i,x} v_{i,y}` for the
:math:`xy` component, and so on. Note that because it lacks the 1/2
factor, these tensor components are twice those of the traditional
kinetic energy tensor. The six components of the vector are ordered
:math:`xx`, :math:`yy`, :math:`zz`, :math:`xy`, :math:`xz`, :math:`yz`.
The change this fix makes to core/shell atom velocities is essentially
computing the temperature after a "bias" has been removed from the
velocity of the atoms. This "bias" is the velocity of the atom relative
to the center-of-mass velocity of the core/shell pair. If this compute
is used with a fix command that performs thermostatting then this bias
will be subtracted from each atom, thermostatting of the remaining
center-of-mass velocity will be performed, and the bias will be added
back in. This means the thermostatting will effectively be performed on
the core/shell pairs, instead of on the individual core and shell atoms.
Thermostatting fixes that work in this way include :doc:`fix nvt
<fix_nh>`, :doc:`fix temp/rescale <fix_temp_rescale>`, :doc:`fix
temp/berendsen <fix_temp_berendsen>`, and :doc:`fix langevin
<fix_langevin>`.
The internal energy of core/shell pairs can be calculated by the
:doc:`compute temp/chunk <compute_temp_chunk>` command, if chunks are
defined as core/shell pairs. See the :doc:`Howto coreshell
<Howto_coreshell>` doc page for more discussion on how to do this.
Output info
"""""""""""
This compute calculates a global scalar (the temperature) and a global
vector of length 6 (symmetric tensor), which can be accessed by indices
1--6. These values can be used by any command that uses global scalar
or vector values from a compute as input.
The scalar value calculated by this compute is "intensive". The vector
values are "extensive".
The scalar value is in temperature :doc:`units <units>`. The vector
values are in energy :doc:`units <units>`.
Restrictions
""""""""""""
The number of core/shell pairs contributing to the temperature is
assumed to be constant for the duration of the run. No fixes should
be used which generate new molecules or atoms during a simulation.
