was a Japanese physicist.
Nosé is best known for his two 1984 papers in which he proposed a method to specify the temperature of
molecular dynamics
Molecular dynamics (MD) is a computer simulation method for analyzing the physical movements of atoms and molecules. The atoms and molecules are allowed to interact for a fixed period of time, giving a view of the dynamic "evolution" of the ...
simulations. This method was later improved by
William G. Hoover and is known as the
Nosé–Hoover thermostat The Nosé–Hoover thermostat is a deterministic algorithm for constant-temperature molecular dynamics simulations.
It was originally developed by Nosé and was improved further by Hoover. Although the heat bath of Nosé–Hoover thermostat consis ...
