Ask about thermostat

Dear mail list users

I am considering to do high cascade using relatively small number of atoms no more than 3000 atoms,

I have found there must be sevreal methods to apply to the border atoms to extract heat from the system.
So my question is which thermostat would be the good choice :
1-A Nose–Hoover thermostat
2- fix temp/berendsen command
3-fix langevin command
The 3rd one i tried shows the system reach to the Temp we set after few
number of picoseconds, but i am not sure if this approach is correct or not,

I almost new in MD calculations and we appreciate your advice and comments either ways
so i would like to konw the diffrence between using those thermostates and the best to use for small number of atoms and applying energy collissions greater than 10k eV ~ 100 k eV

Thank you

​this is not a LAMMPS question, but a question about your science.
please revert to the appropriate sources like published literature,
advisers, collaborators.​
this mailing list is focused on issues specific to LAMMPS and your inquiry
is not at all in that category.
