barostat_sym determines which degrees of freedom of the simulation box are allowed to change during barostating. Currently, the accepted options are:

  1. "iso" for isotropic deformation of the simulation box, where the transformation of the lattice vectors is done according to [math]\displaystyle{ \textbf{v}' = [[1+t, 0, 0], [0, 1+t, 0], [0, 0, 1+t]] \textbf{v} }[/math];
  2. "diag" for deformation of the simulation box, where the diagonal elements of the transformation matrix are allowed to differ: [math]\displaystyle{ \textbf{v}' = [[1+t_{xx}, 0, 0], [0, 1+t_{yy}, 0], [0, 0, 1+t_{zz}]] \textbf{v} }[/math].

The specific details of how the transformation matrix elements are chosen may depend on the chosen barostat.
