Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient, multiple-range random walk algorithm to calculate the density of states.
Fugao Wang,David P. Landau +1 more
TL;DR: A new Monte Carlo algorithm is presented that permits us to directly access the free energy and entropy, is independent of temperature, and is efficient for the study of both 1st order and 2nd order phase transitions.
Book
A Guide to Monte Carlo Simulations in Statistical Physics
David P. Landau,Kurt Binder +1 more
TL;DR: A review of Monte Carlo methods of computer simulation can be found in this article, where a brief review of other methods of simulation can also be found, as well as a brief introduction to Monte Carlo studies of biological molecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Determining the density of states for classical statistical models: a random walk algorithm to produce a flat histogram.
Fugao Wang,David P. Landau +1 more
TL;DR: An efficient Monte Carlo algorithm using a random walk in energy space to obtain a very accurate estimate of the density of states for classical statistical models that overcomes the tunneling barrier between coexisting phases at first-order phase transitions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Critical behavior of the three-dimensional Ising model: A high-resolution Monte Carlo study.
TL;DR: Using histogram techniques and an ultra-fast multispin coding simulation algorithm, the authors investigated the critical behavior of the d=3 simple-cubic Ising model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Finite-size effects at temperature-driven first-order transitions.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the effects at a temperature-driven first-order transition by analyzing various moments of the energy distribution and the rounding of the singularities and the shifts in the location of the specific heat maximum.
