Hi Sibel,
The concentration is whatever you want it to be. The only catch is that
you have to have a concentration high enough to actually allow enough
atoms to be placed to neutralize the system. If you want to have a
minimal number of ions you should just set the number ofeach type manually.
Best,
Peter
