fred,
please go back and think about this statement.
it does not make sense at all.
if you accelerate all atoms (all atoms), their
velocity _cannot_ remain constant.
perhaps you should first explain _what_ you want to achieve
instead of _how_, and perhaps somebody can then give some
advice of what you should do.
cheers,
