[CP2K:1747] Re: different regions with different temperature in MD

[Jun Cheng]

Thanks a lot for rapid reply, Teo.

What I am trying to simulate is that a few atoms or molecules in an
equilibrated system are excited to higher vibrational levels (e.g. due to
photo adsorption), and see how the system evolves afterwards. I am thinking
of assigning the excited species an high temperature initially to mimic the
situation of excitation by photo adsorption, and then seeing how the system
reacts. So, it is not necessary to keep the excited species at the high
temperature during MD simulations. Please let me know what do you think.
Thanks.

Jun
