Detailed Description

Tetrahedrality ParameterRAngle.

Computes local tetrahedral order parameter Q as introduced in:

"A new order parameter for tetrahedral configurations," by P.-L. Chau and A.J. Hardwick, Mol. Phys. 93, pp. 511-518 (1998).

Note that we use a rescaled version of the tetrahedral order parameter 'Q' such that a perfectly tetrahedral configuration has a Q value of 1 and an ideal gas configuration has a Q value of 0. This rescaled version of the tetrahedrality parameter was first introduced in:

"Relationship between structural order and the anomalies of liquid water," by J.R. Errington and P.G. Debenedetti, Nature 409, pp. 318-321 (2001).

Characterization of the spatial correlations of the the local order parameter Q are done according to the procedure outlined in:

"Space-time correlations in the orientational order parameter and the orientational entropy of water," by P. Kumar, S.V. Buldyrev, and H.E. Stanley, arXiv:0807.4699v1 [cond-mat.soft] 29 Jul 2008.
