The following is a list of thermostats used to maintain (more or less) constant the average temperature in molecular dynamics simulations. Note that thermostats may introduce artificial behaviour into the system so one has to be careful. It is probably worthwhile using a thermostat that correctly samples the canonical ensemble, for example, the Bussi-Donadio-Parrinello thermostat.
