MDALGO = 0 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 11 | 21 | 13
Default: MDALGO = 0
Description: MDALGO specifies the molecular dynamics simulation protocol (in case IBRION=0 and VASP was compiled with -Dtbdyn).
- MDALGO=0
- MDALGO=1
- Andersen thermostat:[1] the system is thermally coupled to a fictitious heat bath with the desired temperature. The coupling is represented by stochastic impulsive forces that act occasionally on randomly selected particles. The collision probability is defined as an average number of collisions per atom and time-step. This quantity can be controlled by the flag ANDERSEN_PROB. The total number of collisions with the heat-bath is written in the file REPORT for each MD step.
- MDALGO=2
- MDALGO=3
- MDALGO=11
- Metadynamics with Andersen thermostat.[1]
- MDALGO=21
- Metadynamics with Nose-Hoover Thermostat (SMASS needs to be specified in the INCAR file).
- MDALGO=13
- Up to three user-defined atomic subsystems coupled with independent Andersen thermostats.[1]
