Langevin equation with colored noise for constant-temperature molecular dynamics simulations.

We discuss the use of a Langevin equation with a colored (correlated) noise to perform constant-temperature molecular dynamics. Since the equations of motion are linear in nature, it is easy to predict the response of a Hamiltonian system to such a thermostat and to tune at will the relaxation time...
