Heat capacity curves as functions of temperature were calculated using Monte Carlo methods for the series of Ar_{13-n}Kr_n clusters (0 <= n <= 13). The clusters were modeled classically using pairwise additive Lennard-Jones potentials.…
Heat capacity curves as functions of temperature for classical atomic clusters bound by pairwise Lennard-Jones potentials were calculated for aggregate sizes from 4 to 24 using Monte Carlo methods. J-walking (or jump-walking) was used to…
The thermodynamic and structural properties of (NH$_4$Cl)$_n$ clusters, n=3-10 are studied. Using the method of simulated annealing, the geometries of several isomers for each cluster size are examined. Jump-walking Monte Carlo simulations…
Monte Carlo methods were used to calculate heat capacities as functions of temperature for classical atomic clusters of aggregate sizes $25 \leq N \leq 60$ that were bound by pairwise Lennard-Jones potentials. The parallel tempering method…
Detailed studies of the thermodynamic properties of selected binary Lennard-Jones clusters of the type X_{13-n}Y_n (where n=1,2,3) are presented. The total energy, heat capacity and first derivative of the heat capacity as a function of…
The jump-walking Monte-Carlo algorithm is revisited and updated to study the equilibrium properties of systems exhibiting quasi-ergodicity. It is designed for a single processing thread as opposed to currently predominant algorithms for…
The heat capacity and isomer distributions of the 38 atom Lennard-Jones cluster have been calculated in the canonical ensemble using parallel tempering Monte Carlo methods. A distinct region of temperature is identified that corresponds to…

The equilibrium properties of classical LJ_38 versus quantum Ne_38 Lennard-Jones clusters are investigated. The quantum simulations use both the Path-Integral Monte-Carlo (PIMC) and the recently developed Variational-Gaussian-Wavepacket…
The low-energy structures of mixed Ar--Xe and Kr--Xe Lennard-Jones clusters are investigated using a newly developed parallel Monte Carlo minimization algorithm with specific exchange moves between particles or trajectories. Tests on the…
Heat capacities of Na_N, N = 13, 20, 55, 135, 142, and 147, clusters have been investigated using a many-body Gupta potential and microcanonical molecular dynamics simulations. Negative heat capacities around the cluster melting-like…
The approach to the ergodic limit in Monte Carlo simulations is studied using both analytic and numerical methods. With the help of a stochastic model, a metric is defined that enables the examination of a simulation in both the ergodic and…
We present a lattice Monte Carlo simulation for a multiblock copolymer chain of length N=240 and microarchitecture $(10-10)_{12}$.The simulation was performed using the Monte Carlo method with the Metropolis algorithm. We measured average…
The heat capacity of iron isotopes is calculated within the interacting shell model using the complete $(pf+0g_{9/2})$-shell. We identify a signature of the pairing transition in the heat capacity that is correlated with the suppression of…
We consider non-gravitational heating effects on galaxy clusters on the basis of the Monte-Carlo modeling of merging trees of dark matter halos combined with the thermal evolution of gas inside each halo. Under the assumption of hydrostatic…
We study the 38-atom Lennard-Jones cluster with parallel tempering Monte Carlo methods in the microcanonical and molecular dynamics ensembles. A new Monte Carlo algorithm is presented that samples rigorously the molecular dynamics ensemble…
We propose a new generalized-ensemble algorithm, which we refer to as the multibaric-multithermal Monte Carlo method. The multibaric-multithermal Monte Carlo simulations perform random walks widely both in volume space and in potential…
A novel experimental scheme has been developed in order to measure the heat capacity of mass selected clusters. It is based on controlled sticking of atoms on clusters. This allows one to construct the caloric curve, thus determining the…
The notion of a nonequilibrium heat capacity is important for bio-energetics and for calorimetry of active materials more generally. It centers around the notion of excess heat or excess work dissipated during a quasistatic relaxation…
The lowest energy configurations of close-packed clusters up to N=110 atoms with stacking faults are studied using the Monte Carlo method with Metropolis algorithm. Two types of contact interactions, a pair-potential and a many-atom…
