Abstract
The heat flow and thermal profile in a one-dimensional (1D) harmonic lattice with coordinate-dependent masses have been calculated in the thermodynamic limit. It is shown in the particular example of a 1D harmonic lattice with linearly increasing masses that in standard Langevin conditions of contact, a temperature gradient can form, and Fourier's law can be obeyed.
