Class Temperature

java.lang.Object
  etomica.units.Dimension
      etomica.units.Temperature

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public final class Temperature
extends Dimension

The temperature dimension. Internally, temperature always represents kT, that is, the temperature multiplied by Boltzmann's constant; this gives a quantity having dimensions of energy, and thus is in units of D-A^2/ps^2. However, temperature is treated as fundamental when defining its Dimension.
