Hi Dave,
Thank you for letting me know of the plans for implementing the Bussi
thermostat.
I have tried the Langevin thermostat with a gamma value of 0.1 ps-1. The
effect on dynamics was far less with this setting, but I worry about the
rigor of the results. Seeing your suggestion prompts me to compare the data
we get with gamma=0.1 and with no thermostat (NVE).
Best regards,
Sally
