We use the Monte Carlo simulation technique to study the critical behavior of a three-state spin model, with bilinear and biquadratic nearest-neighbor interactions, known as the Blume-Emery-Griffiths model (BEG), in a ...

A methodology based on a combination of the histogram reweighting technique and the fourth order Binder cumulant was developed to determine the critical point in generalized condensation-evaporation systems. This methodology ...

The statistical thermodynamics of straight rigid rods of length k (k-mers) with nonadditive lateral interactions was developed on a generalization in the spirit of the lattice-gas model and the classical Bragg-Williams ...

In this paper we develop the statistical thermodynamics of two-domain antifreeze proteins adsorbed on ice. We use a coarse-grained model and a lattice network in order to represent the protein and ice, respectively. The ...

In this paper, we introduce a novel integration method of Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) equation. It is known that if during the discrete integration of the KPZ equation the nearest-neighbor height-difference exceeds a critical ...

The adsorption of long, straight rigid rods of length k (k-mers) on 2D lattices is described by using a new theoretical approach based on a generalization of the classical Guggenheim−DiMarzio approximation. In this scheme, ...

We investigate the irreversible growth of (2+1)-dimensional magnetic thin films under the influence of a transverse temperature gradient, which is maintained by thermal baths across a direction perpendicular to the direction ...

This paper discusses some convergence properties in the entropic sampling Monte Carlo methods with multiple random walkers, particularly in the Wang-Landau (WL) and 1/t algorithms. The classical algorithms are modified by ...

We use Monte Carlo simulations to evaluate the feasibility of detecting thermal order by disorder in real antiferromagnetic Ising pyrochlores, frustrated by a magnetic field applied in the [110] direction. Building on an ...
