The Nosé-Hoover thermostat[1] [2] [3] is a method for controlling the temperature in a molecular dynamics simulation. The Nosé-Hoover thermostat "strives" to reproduce the canonical phase-space distribution. It does this by modifying the equations of motion to include a non-Newtonian term in order to maintain the total kinetic energy constant. The modified equation of motion is given by (Ref. 3 Eq. 4)
where is the thermodynamic friction coefficient, given by (Ref. 3 Eq. 5)
![{\displaystyle {\frac {{\mathrm {d} }\zeta (t)}{\mathrm {d} t}}={\frac {1}{Q}}\left[\sum m{\mathbf {v} }(t)^{2}-(X+1)k_{B}T\right]}](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/039cc14a8a6a5471a4c428e173d1287bbf4a4a87)
where is a parameter that has the dimensions of energy(time)2 and determines the time-scale of the temperature fluctuation and is the number of degrees of freedom.
Problems[edit]
The Nosé-Hoover thermostat has problems with ergodicity for small or stiff systems. In order to compensate for this a modification using "chains" has been proposed [4].
Non-equilibrium[edit]
A version of the Nosé-Hoover thermostat has been developed for non-equilibrium simulations [5].
