.. index:: dielectric
dielectric command
==================
Syntax
""""""
.. parsed-literal::
dielectric value
* value = dielectric constant
Examples
""""""""
.. parsed-literal::
dielectric 2.0
Description
"""""""""""
Set the dielectric constant for Coulombic interactions (pairwise and
long-range) to this value. The constant is unitless, since it is used
to reduce the strength of the interactions. The value is used in the
denominator of the formulas for Coulombic interactions - e.g. a value
of 4.0 reduces the Coulombic interactions to 25% of their default
strength. See the :doc:`pair_style <pair_style>` command for more
details.
