First-order Reversal Curve Analysis of Kinetic Monte Carlo Simulations of First- and Second-order Phase Transitions
نویسنده
چکیده
The dynamics near firstand second-order phase transitions in a two-dimensional lattice-gas model are compared using the first-order reversal curve (FORC) method. The FORC diagram of a first-order transition is characterized by a negative region separating two positive regions, reflecting a competition between the time-varying electrochemical potential and the tendency of the system to phase order.

Gyration Radius and Energy Study at Different Temperatures for Acetylcholine Receptor Protein in Gas Phase by Monte Carlo, Molecular and Langevin Dynamics Simulations
The determination of gyration radius is a strong research for configuration of a Macromolecule. Italso reflects molecular compactness shape. In this work, to characterize the behavior of theprotein, we observe quantities such as the radius of gyration and the average energy. We studiedthe changes of these factors as a function of temperature for Acetylcholine receptor protein in gasphase with n...
متن کاملMonte Carlo study of very weak first - order transitions in the three - dimensional Ashkin - Teller model
We propose numerical simulations of the Ashkin-Teller model as a foil for theoretical techniques for studying very weakly first-order phase transitions in three dimensions. The Ashkin-Teller model is a simple two-spin model whose parameters can be adjusted so that it has an arbitrarily weakly first-order phase transition. In this limit, there are quantities characterizing the firstorder transit...
متن کاملInterplay of first-order kinetic and thermodynamic phase transitions in heterogeneous catalytic reactions.
Using the rate constants obtained on the basis of independent transient measurements and density functional theory calculations, we perform Monte Carlo (MC) simulations of the bistable kinetics of the N2O-CO reaction on Pd(110) at 450 K. In the absence of lateral interactions, the MC technique predicts a wide hysteresis loop in perfect agreement with the mean-field analysis. With attractive sub...

To further improve the performance of Monte Carlo simulations of first-order phase transitions we propose to combine the multicanonical approach with multigrid techniques. We report tests of this proposition for the d-dimensional Φ4 field theory in two different situations. First, we study quantum tunneling for d = 1 in the continuum limit, and second, we investigate first-order phase transitio...
