LANGEVIN

References: Ricci2003, Kuhne2007, Rengaraj2020

Controls the set of parameters to run a Langevin MD. The integrator used follows that given in the article by Ricci et al. The user can define regions in the system where the atoms inside undergoes Langevin MD, while those outside the regions undergoes NVE Born Oppenheimer MD. To define the regions, the user should use THERMAL_REGION subsection of MOTION%MD. [Edit on GitHub]
