Charge equilibration for molecular dynamics simulations
Charge equilibration (QEq) for molecular dynamics simulations [1] [2] is a technique for calculating the distribution of charges within a (large) molecule. This distribution can change with time to match changes in the local environment.
Split-charge formalism
