where :math:`\mathbf{v}_i` is the velocity of particle *i*\ , :math:`\mathbf{f}_i` is
the force acting on it, :math:`m_i` is its mass, :math:`\gamma` is the friction
coefficient, and :math:`\mathbf{R}_i` is an uncorrelated random force whose
components are chosen from a normal distribution with mean zero and variance

the heat bath.
The integration is done using the Langevin leap-frog method. :cite:`Izaguirre2010`
