SMASS>=0 for Nose mass control

#1 Post by zlch5 » Tue Apr 18, 2006 4:37 pm

Hi,

From VASP manul we know SMASS>=0 control the frequency of the temperature oscillations during the simulation.
So if SMASS=n (n>0), does it mean a period of n time steps will be chosen?

Since ionic frequencies should not differ by an order of magnitude from the frequencies of the induced temperature fluctuations, does it mean we must use vasp to determine the ionic frequencies before we chose correct SMASS?

Thank you
