Description: MDALGO specifies the molecular dynamics simulation protocol (in case IBRION=0, and provided VASP was compiled with -Dtbdyn).


Standard molecular dynamics, the same behavior as if VASP were compiled without -Dtbdyn option, i.e., all the simulation methods and flags discussed in this document are inactive.

Andersen thermostat (see Sec. 6.62.5)

Nose-Hoover thermostat (SMASS needs to be specified in the INCAR file).

Langevin dynamics (see Sec. 6.62.5)

Metadynamics with Andersen thermostat (see Sec. 6.62.1, 6.62.2 6.62.5)

Metadynamics with Nose-Hoover Thermostat (SMASS needs to be specified in the INCAR file).

(see also Sec. 6.62.1, 6.62.2)

Up to three user-defined atomic subsystems coupled with independent Andersen thermostats. (see Sec. 6.62.5)
