MeanAngularCorrelation

The MeanAngularCorrelation step calculates and records the mean angular correlation of particles’ orientations relative to their initial orientations.

Output format:

# step MAC
0 1.000
100 0.987
200 0.954

  • type: GeometricalMeasure, MeanAngularCorrelation

  • parameters:

    • outputFilePath: string: Path to the output file

Example:

"angularCorrelation":{
  "type":["GeometricalMeasure","MeanAngularCorrelation"],
  "parameters":{
    "intervalStep": 10000,
    "outputFilePath": "angular_correlation.dat"
  }
}

Note

The output file will contain the step number and the mean angular correlation value.

Tip

This measure is particularly useful for studying the rotational dynamics of particles in the system.
