Description of the model

Nosé–Hoover thermostat is used to keep the temperature constant in the system. Equations of motion of the thermostated harmonic oscillator have the form:

[math] \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} v' =\omega^2_{\rm 0} x - \gamma v \\ \displaystyle \gamma' = \frac{1}{\tau^2} \left( \frac{T}{T_{\rm 0}} - 1\right)\\ \end{array} \right. [/math]

where

  • [math] {\omega}_{\rm 0} = \sqrt{ \frac{c}{m}} [/math] is the eigen frequency
  • [math] {T_{\rm 0}} [/math] is the initial kinetic temperature of the system
  • [math] {T} [/math] is the current kinetic temperature of the system
  • [math] {v} [/math] is the velocity
  • [math] {\tau} [/math] is the relaxation time
  • [math] {tau}_{\rm 0} = 1 [/math] - scale for [math] {\tau} [/math]
  • [math] {c}_{\rm 0} = 1 [/math] - scale of stiffness for [math] {c} [/math]

Phase-space trajectory of thermostated harmonic oscillator

The plot shows the phase space, i.e. the dependence [math] V(x) [/math]. The followng three parameters can be changed by the user:

1) tau = [math] {\tau} [/math] is the relaxation time

2) stiff = [math] {c} [/math] is the stiffness

3) scale is a scale parameter for a plot

The last slider allows to choose the number of pre-configured experiment.
