DynamicsMultibinit

This page gives hints on how to perform a molecular dynamics calculation with the Multibinit package.

Introduction

Multibinit uses the molecular dynamics algorithms implemented in the Abinit software (see Molecular dynamics in Abinit). For now, only NPT (ionmov=13) and NVT (ionmov==12) simulations are available.

Tutorials

The First lesson on Multibinit explains how to build a lattice model and to run a dynamics.
