Log Message:
Starting to add support for UniformGradient. 
Changed Vector3d input type to a more general std::vector<RealType> input.  This change alters RNEMD and UniformField inputs.

70
71 in the .md file where the values of a, b, c, alpha, beta are in units of
72 \f$ V / \AA^2 \f$
73
74 The electrostatic potential corresponding to this uniform gradient is
75
76 \f$ \phi(\mathbf{r}) = - a x y - b x z - c y z - \alpha x^2 / 2 - \beta y^2 / 2 + (\alpha + \beta) z^2 / 2 \f$
77
78 which grows unbounded and is not periodic. For these reasons,
79 care should be taken in using a Uniform Gradient with point charges.
80
81 The corresponding field is:
82
83 \f$ \mathbf{E} = \left( \array{c} \alpha x + a y + b z \\ a x + \beta y + c z \\ b x + c y - (\alpha + \beta) z \end{array} \right) \f$
84
85 The field also grows unbounded and is not periodic. For these reasons,
86 care should be taken in using a Uniform Gradient with point dipoles.
87
88 The corresponding field gradient is:
89
90 \f$ \nabla \mathbf{E} = \left( \array{ccc} \alpha & a & b \\ a & \beta & c \\ b & c & -(\alpha + \beta) \end{array} \right) \f$
91
92 which is uniform everywhere.
93
94 The uniform field gradient applies a force on charged atoms,
95 \f$ \mathbf{F} = C \mathbf{E}(\mathbf{r}) \f$.
96 For dipolar atoms, the gradient applies both a potential,
97 \f$ U = -\mathbf{D} \cdot \mathbf{E}(\mathbf{r}) \f$, a force,
98 \f$ \mathbf{F} = \mathbf{D} \cdot \nabla \mathbf{E} \f$, and a torque,
99 \f$ \mathbf{\tau} = \mathbf{D} \times \mathbf{E}(\mathbf{r}) \f$.
100
101 For quadrupolar atoms, the uniform field gradient exerts a potential,
102 \f$ U = - \mathsf{Q}:\nabla \mathbf{E} $\f, and a torque
103 \f$ \mathbf{F} = 2 \mathsf{Q} \times \nabla \mathbf{E} \f$
