Hi,

I have a copper slab having thickness of 30 angstroms. Can I set different region at different temperatures? Like each 6 angstroms having different temperatures, so there will 5 temperature throughout the thickness of the slab? Thanks for the time!

please note, that temperature is a bulk property and cannot be
measured accurately with atomic resolution. that said, you can
generate a temperature gradient with LAMMPS, even using your approach,
but that would be overly complex. it would be simpler to apply what is
in LAMMPS called a bias. please search the LAMMPS manual (and the
mailing list archive) for a discussion of that and examples.
