[CP2K:34] Re: barostat

[Juerg Hutter]

Hi

the implementation in CP2K is a newer variation of the
algorithm outlined in this paper

@article{Martyna_1994_a,
     author = {G. J. Martyna and D. J. Tobias and M. L. Klein},
     title  = {Constant-pressure molecular-dynamics algorithms},
     journal = {Journal of Chemical Physics},
     volume = {101},
     pages  = {4177--4189},
     year   = 1994
}

For the true technical details you have to ask Chris,
who did the implementation.

regards

Juerg Hutter
