Query about the superlattice

Dear :

I am simulating a thermal resistance between the Si and Ge.The MP method is used in my model.I created the initiating structure in lammps .The input deck is below. In the relaxation process,first I ran the system in NPT 500000 steps. Second I ran the system langevin+nve 500000 steps .At last I ran the nve 100000 steps .However,I found the temperature continues increasing .Why ? Is my initiating structure wrong? Thank you very much !

I 'm very grateful!

have you checked, whether your time step is adequate?

Dear axel:
Hello,Thank you for your help.I have ran 5000000 steps and timestep=0.5fs.However,the result is same . I am very puzzled.
