(color online) (a) Schematic diagram of the simulation model for the RNEMD. A small amount of heat is added into the hot region and removed from the two cold regions to create the heat fluxes. Periodic boundary conditions are applied in the x and y directions. (b) Typical temperature profile in an SNR along the x direction at 300 K.
