Definition

The selected principal moment of the mass weighted gyration tensor S calculated for the atom group A.

ξ=λn2

where λ is the selected principal moment of the gyration tensor. The mass weighted gyration tensor S is defined as

Smn =i=1Nmi(xm(i)xm(𝐀))(xn(i)xn(𝐀))i=1Nmi

The eigenvalues of the tensor are λx2λy2λz2:

𝐒=[λx2000λy2000λz2]

PBC note: The minimum-image convention is not used.
