ion¶
Note
This command has been ported to the new APBS syntax (see YAML- and JSON-format input files); see:
- General information about this object:
generic.MobileIons
for more information. - Boundary element implementation:
boundary_element.BoundaryElement.ions()
. - Finite difference implementation:
finite_difference.FiniteDifference.ions()
. - Finite element implementation:
finite_element.FiniteElement.ions()
.
Specify the bulk concentrations of mobile ion species present in the system. This command can be repeated as necessary to specify multiple types of ions; however, only the largest ionic radius is used to determine the ion-accessibility function. The total bulk system of ions must be electroneutral which means the charge densities/concentrations of positive and negative ions must be equal. The syntax is:
ion charge {charge} conc {conc} radius {radius}
where
charge
- Mobile ion species charge (floating point number in ec)
conc
- Mobile ion species concentration (floating point number in M)
radius
- Mobile ion species radius (floating point number in Å)
