Definition

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

$\xi = \lambda_n^2$

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

$S_{mn} \ = \frac {\sum_{i=1}^{N} m_i (x_{m}^{(i)} - x_{m}^{(\bold A)}) (x_{n}^{(i)} - x_{n}^{(\bold A)})}{\sum_{i=1}^{N} m_i}$

The eigenvalues of the tensor are $\lambda_{x}^2 \leq \lambda_{y}^2 \leq \lambda_{z}^2$:

$\bold S = \begin{bmatrix} \lambda_{x}^{2} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & \lambda_{y}^{2} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & \lambda_{z}^{2} \end{bmatrix}$

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