[gmx-users] Does thole polarization work?

2012-07-03 Thread Denny Frost
Gromacs Users, I am interested in implementing a thole polarization scheme in my simulations of ionic liquids. However, the gromacs 4.5 manual does not give much information on this feature beyond a brief mentioning. An example of the implementation can be found in the mailing list at http://list
