We review and discuss recent advances in the simulation of bulk critical phenomena in
model fluids. In particular we emphasize the extensions to finite-size scaling theory needed …

Roughly at the time (1987) when the manuscript for the first three chapters of the present
book was completed, several breakthroughs occurred. They had a profound influence on the …

An introductory review of the Monte Carlo method for the statistical mechanics of condensed
matter systems is given. Basic principles (random number generation, simple sampling …

We review the pertinent features of the phase diagram of the zero-field Blume-Capel model,
focusing on the aspects of transition order, finite-size scaling and universality. In particular …

We present a brief review of Monte Carlo simulations of ferromagnetic Ising lattices in a film
geometry with surface magnetic fields. The seminal work of Nakanishi and Fisher [Phys …

Assuming a tricritical point of two-flavor QCD in the space of temperature, baryon number
chemical potential, and quark mass, we study the change of the associated soft mode along …

We carry out a study of the two-dimensional Blume-Capel model using the Wang-Landau
Monte Carlo method which estimates the density of states g (E) directly. This work validates …

Abstract Using Monte Carlo simulation and mean-field calculations, we study the liquid-
vapor phase diagram of a square-well binary fluid mixture as a function of a parameter δ …

The phase diagram of the spin-3 2 Blume-Capel model in two dimensions is explored by
conventional finite-size scaling, conformal invariance, and Monte Carlo simulations. The …

Field theoretic simulations are used to predict the equilibrium phase diagram of symmetric
blends of AB diblock copolymer with A-and B-type homopolymers. Experiments generally …
