Parameters
----------
atoms: Atoms object
The list of atoms.
timestep: float
The time step in ASE time units.
temperature_K: float
The desired temperature, in Kelvin.
andersen_prob: float
A random collision probability, typically 1e-4 to 1e-1.
With this probability atoms get assigned random velocity components.
fixcm: bool (optional)
If True, the position and momentum of the center of mass is
kept unperturbed. Default: True.
rng: RNG object, default: ``numpy.random``
Random number generator. This must have the ``random`` method
with the same signature as ``numpy.random.random``.
**kwargs : dict, optional
Additional arguments passed to :class:~ase.md.md.MolecularDynamics
base class.
The temperature is imposed by stochastic collisions with a heat bath
that acts on velocity components of randomly chosen particles.
The algorithm randomly decorrelates velocities, so dynamical properties
like diffusion or viscosity cannot be properly measured.
