r"""
Computes the average dipole moment
.. math::
\boldsymbol M = \sum_i q_i \boldsymbol r_i
where :math:`q_i` is the charge and :math:`\boldsymbol r_i` the position of
atom :math:`i` in the given :class:`MDAnalysis.core.groups.AtomGroup`.
Also, the static dielectric constant
.. math::
\varepsilon = 1 + \frac{\langle M^2 \rangle - \langle M \rangle^2}
{3 \varepsilon_ 0 V k_B T}
is calculated for a system in tin foil boundary conditions, which is
the usual case if electrostatics are handled with a Ewald summation
technique. See [Neumann1983]_ for details on the derivation.
Parameters
----------
atomgroup : MDAnalysis.core.groups.AtomGroup
Atomgroup on which the analysis is executed
temperature : float
Temperature (Kelvin) at which the system has been simulated
make_whole : bool
Make molecules whole; If the input already contains whole molecules
this can be disabled to gain speedup
verbose : bool
Show detailed progress of the calculation
Attributes
----------
results.M : numpy.ndarray
Directional dependant dipole moment
:math:`\langle \boldsymbol M \rangle` in :math:`eÅ`.
results.M2 : numpy.ndarray
Directional dependant squared dipole moment
:math:`\langle \boldsymbol M^2 \rangle` in :math:`(eÅ)^2`
results.fluct : float
Directional dependant dipole moment fluctuation
:math:`\langle \boldsymbol M^2 \rangle - \langle \boldsymbol M \rangle^2`
in :math:`(eÅ)^2`
results.eps : numpy.ndarray
Directional dependant static dielectric constant
results.eps_mean : float
Static dielectric constant
Example
-------
Create a :class:`DielectricConstant` instance by supplying an
:class:`~MDAnalysis.core.groups.AtomGroup`,
then use the :meth:`run` method::
import MDAnalysis as mda
from MDAnalysis.analysis.dielectric import DielectricConstant
from MDAnalysisTests.datafiles import PSF_TRICLINIC, DCD_TRICLINIC
# Load a pure water system
universe = mda.Universe(PSF_TRICLINIC, DCD_TRICLINIC)
diel = DielectricConstant(universe.atoms)
diel.run()
print(diel.results)
The static dielectric constant of the provided atomgroup is saved
within the :class:`~MDAnalysis.analysis.base.Results` attribute.
