Integrator.magnetic_verlet_zdir(ptcls)[source]#

Update particles’ class based on velocity verlet method in the case of a constant magnetic field along the $z$ axis. For more info see eq. (78) of Ref. [Chin, 2008]

Parameters: ptcls (sarkas.particles.Particles) – Particles data.
Returns: potential_energy (float) – Total potential energy.

Notes

This integrator is faster than magnetic_verlet but valid only for a magnetic field in the $z$ -direction. This is the preferred choice in this case.
