Monte Carlo methods are utilized as computational tools in many areas of chemical physics.
In this paper, we present the theoretical basis for a dynamical Monte Carlo method in terms …

Meticulously prepared, this reference offers an overview of achieved in gas-solid (G/S),
liquid-solid (L/S), and gas-liquid (G/L) adsorption research. It emphasizes the interpretation …

This article reviews various methods for the Monte Carlo simulation of models for long
flexible polymer chains, namely self-avoiding random walks at various lattices. This problem …

We discuss analytic continuation as a tool to extract the cumulants of the quark number
fluctuations in the strongly interacting medium from lattice QCD simulations at imaginary …

Results obtained from extensive Monte Carlo simulations of domain growth in the two-
dimensional spin-exchange kinetic Ising model with equal numbers of up and down spins …

We consider the rounding and shifting of a firstorder transition in a finite d-dimensional
hypercubic L d geometry, L being the linear dimension of the system, and surface effects are …

A critical review is given of status and perspectives of Monte Carlo simulations that address
bulk and interfacial phase transitions of ferromagnetic Ising models. First, some basic …
