Description: LANGEVIN_GAMMA_L specifies the friction coefficients for lattice degrees-of-freedom in case of Parrinello-Rahman dynamics (in case VASP was compiled with -Dtbdyn).

When running NpT simulations with a Langevin thermostat[1] (MDALGO=3), using the method of Parrinello and Rahman, the friction coefficient for lattice degrees-of-freedom have to be specified by means of the LANGEVIN_GAMMA_L-tag.

The friction coefficients γ for the atomic degrees-of-freedom are specified using the LANGEVIN_GAMMA-tag.
