DLC film quench

Dear all,

I want to build coating of DLC(Diamond-like carbon) on the surface of Fe by the method of quench. The three kinds of zone are included in substrate of Fe(fix layer, thermostat layer and newtoian layer), the eam/fs and rebo was described interaction for Fe-C, Fe-Fe,C-C. however, when I run my script, the atom of thermostat_layer fluctuation is too big,even blown up in the box, the May I ask if there method to slove this problems ?

Thank you very much!

hmm.... you are computing C-C interactions twice here. is that intended?
