NHC NS
{DISPLAYTITLE:NHC_NS}}
NHC_NS = [integer]
Default: NHC_NS = 1
Description: The number of subdivisions of each RESPA step used in the integration step used in propagation of thermostat variables in Nosé-Hoover–chain (NHC) thermostat.
The RESPA steps used in in propagation of thermostat variables in Nosé-Hoover–chain (NHC) thermostat are treated by Suzuki-Yoshida scheme, whereby each step is subdivided further into NHC_NS parts. First, fourth, and sixth order schemes with, respectively, 1, 3, and 7 steps are supported.
