Realistic simulations of Au(100): Grand Canonical Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics
The large surface density changes associated with the (100) noble metals surface hex-reconstruction suggest the use of nonparticle-conserving simulation methods. We present an example of a surface…
Structural transitions in the 309-atom magic number Lennard-Jones cluster.
TLDR
The thermal behavior of the 309-atom Lennard-Jones cluster, whose structure is a complete Mackay icosahedron, has been studied by parallel tempering Monte Carlo simulations and shows a very pronounced peak before melting, which is attributed to several coincident structural transformation processes.

A cavity-biased (T, V, μ) Monte Carlo method for the computer simulation of fluids
A modified sampling technique is proposed for use in Monte Carlo calculations in the grand canonical ensemble. The new method, called the cavity-biased (T, V, μ) Monte Carlo procedure, attempts…
Preroughening, diffusion, and growth of a fcc(111) surface.
TLDR
A restricted solid-on-solid model, named FCSOS, is introduced, which describes preroughening of close-packed fcc(111) surfaces, and it is shown that prerouGhening will generally show up at most as a dip in antiphase scattering.
Preroughening and reentrant layering transitions on triangular lattice substrates.
TLDR
This work uses solid-on-solid models that include a substrate potential to demonstrate that this behavior should be expected to arise out of the physics that produces roughening and prerougheening of a bulk crystal surface, which then provides a unified picture of both the experiments and the simulation results.
Phase transitions in a cylindrical pore
We report adsorption isotherms for a Lennard-Jones fluid confined in a cylindrical pore with attractive walls at temperatures above the wetting temperature. A low temperature isotherm exhibited two…
Why do vertical steps reappear in adsorption isotherms?
On the basis of an extensive set of vapor pressure isotherm and diffraction measurements and computer simulations, we present a microscopic description of the mechanism responsible for the…
Preroughening transitions in crystal surfaces and valence-bond phases in quantum spin chains.
TLDR
It is shown that disordered flat phases in crystal surfaces are equivalent to valence-bond-type phases in integer and half-integer spin quantum chains, and that these phases differ only in the mathematical formulation of broken symmetry in the spin representation.

We present ellipsometric measurements of multilayer adsorption of xenon, krypton, and argon on highly oriented pyrolytic graphite along numerous isotherms spanning the coverage range from completion…
Reentrant first-order layering transitions in multilayer argon films on graphite.
We report ellipsometric coverage-vapor-pressure isotherm measurements for argon on graphite over the temperature range 65 to 84 K, which resolve up to eight layers. We confirm previous observations…
It is a pleasure to thank
We extend results on Weierstrass semigroups at ramified points of double covering of curves to any numerical semigroup whose genus is large enough. As an application we strengthen the properties…
