Phonostat: Thermostatting phonons in molecular dynamics simulations

Thermostat algorithms in a molecular dynamics simulation maintain an average temperature of a system by regulating the atomic velocities rather than the internal degrees of freedom. Herein, we present a "phonostat" algorithm that can regulate the total energy in a given internal degree of...
