Computer Simulation Studies in Condensed Matter Physics III

About this book

This book provides a broad overview of recent developments in computer simulation studies of condensed matter systÄms. The contributions present new physical results, simulation techniques, and ways of interpreting simulational data. Topics include: - simulations of disorder and diffusion in metallic alloys; - simulations of viscous flows, polymer dynamics and nucleation; - histogram techniques; - cellular automata; - simulations of phase transitions in systems of molec- ules with internal degrees of freedom; - variational and path-integral Monte Carlo studies of Hubbard models and high-temperature supercon- ductivity; - analytic continuation of imaginary-time Monte Carlo data; - Monte Carlo studies of two-dimensional quantum antiferromagnets at low temperatures.
