Hi,

The problem is the temperature at which the heating up ends is 300K. So the
next step should start at 300K and because I have used a heat bath, should
ideally stick around 300K. But what happens is that the next step
(equilibration) starts at 200K and keeps on increasing which is very
unusual. I want to have a distance dependent dielectric of epsilon=r. That
is why I have dielc=1 and eedmeth=5 . If there is any other way to do it I
would like to know.

Thank you

Sajeewa
