The microscopic approach to calculating the free energy of a three-dimensional Ising-like system in a homogeneous external field is developed in the higher non-Gaussian approximation (the $\rho^6$ model) at temperatures above the critical…
We propose a new Monte Carlo algorithm for the free energy calculation based on configuration space sampling. We implement this algorithm for Ising model. Comparison with the exact free energy shows an excellent agreement. We analyse the…

We present a history-dependent Monte Carlo scheme for the efficient calculation of the free-energy of quantum systems, inspired by the Wang-Landau sampling and metadynamics method. When embedded in a path integral formulation, it is of…
The description of a three-dimensional Ising-like magnet in the presence of an external field in the vicinity of the critical point by the collective variables method is proposed. Using the renormalization group transformations, the scaling…
We present an efficient Monte-Carlo method for long-range interacting systems to calculate free energy as a function of an order parameter. In this method, a variant of the Wang-Landau method regarding the order parameter is combined with…
Excess contributions to the free energy due to interfaces occur for many problems encountered in the statistical physics of condensed matter when coexistence between different phases is possible (e.g. wetting phenomena, nucleation, crystal…

The nonequilibrium phase transition has been studied by Monte Carlo simulation in a ferromagnetically interacting (nearest neighbour) kinetic Ising model in presence of a sinusoidally oscillating magnetic field. The ('specific-heat')…
Calculating free energy differences is a topic of substantial interest and has many applications including molecular docking and hydration, solvation, and binding free energies which is used in computational drug discovery. However, in…
The gain of free energy upon unmixing is determined via application of Markov state modeling (MSM), using an Ising model with a fixed number of up- and down-spins. MSM yields reasonable estimates of the free energies. However, a closer look…

Recent developments in statistical mechanics have allowed the estimation of equilibrium free energies from the statistics of work measurements during processes that drive the system out of equilibrium. Here a different class of processes is…
