Inconsistency in softening parameter for soft_coulomb species
The documentation states that the softening parameter a
of the potential v(r)=−zval/(a2+r2)
is defined in the input file, but actually in the code this parameter is taken as a**2
. In line 1032 of species_pot.F90
:
vl(ip) = vl(ip) -species%get_zval()/sqrt(r2+species%get_softening())
To fix it, the documentation should stay the same but in the code the value species%get_softening()
should be squared.
