Convergence in the proportionality coefficient, (a) α0(λ), (b) β0(λ) for τ/τν = 2; characteristic memory time as a function of proportionality coefficient (c) α0(λ), (d) β0(λ), and (e) translational and rotational temperatures of the nanoparticle of radius a = 50 nm by using Mittag-Leffler noise (λ = 0.5). The proportionality coefficients α0 and β0 are non-dimensionalized using τνλ2=τν1.5. For a given τ/τν, if α0(λ) and β0(λ) are chosen from (c) and (d), respectively, then the thermostat satisfies the equipartition theorem within 3% error. When α0(λ)τν1.5=1.61×109 (a) and β0(λ)τν1.5=2.03×109 (b) are independent of τ, the thermostat satisfies the equipartition theorem in the plateau region given by (e). It is to be noted that in the same plateau region ((c) and (d)), α0 and β0 remain constant and agree with the values given in (a) and (b), respectively.
