Heat transfer in bulk silicon

LAMMPS LAMMPS Mailing List Mirror

Hi all ,

I am going to simulate “heat transfer” in bulk silicon nano-structures by LAMMPS:
I have 101010 diamond structure cells of silicon (8631 atoms). How can I have a heat source in this cube: at first some atoms have 290K and after relaxation and heat transfering all atoms have a final equilibrium temperature.

Thanks,
HDor,

are you certain, that your method will be working correctly?

have a look at the many, many discussions of similar topics
in the mailing list archives.

lammps offers multiple facilities to manipulate kinetic energy
(mind you, temperature is a macroscopic property, that is
only well defined for systems in equilibrium) for selected atoms.

thermal dissipation just happens.
