Expanded grand canonical and Gibbs ensemble Monte Carlo simulation of polymers
نویسنده
چکیده
A novel formalism is presented for simulation of polymers in expanded grand canonical and expanded Gibbs ensembles. Molecular creation and destruction attempts are replaced by transition attempts between states of a tagged chain of variable length. Results are presented for expanded grand canonical simulations of hard-core chain fluids in the bulk and in a slit pore and for expanded Gibbs ensemble simulations of vapor–liquid equilibria for square-well chains. © 1996 American Institute of Physics. @S0021-9606~96!53134-X#

Pseudo-ensemble simulations and Gibbs–Duhem integrations for polymers
Pseudo-ensemble simulations and Gibbs–Duhem integrations are formulated within the framework of the expanded grand canonical ensemble. Pseudo-isobaric–isothermal simulations are proposed in which volume moves are replaced by fluctuations in the number of molecular segments. For large systems of dense athermal polymers, this pseudo-isobaric–isothermal method is shown to achieve mechanical equili...
متن کاملGrand canonical ensemble Monte Carlo simulation of a lipid bilayer using extension biased rotations
The cavity-biased grand-canonical ensemble method was applied to the simulation of a lipid bilayer using an enhanced Monte Carlo sampling technique. The enhancements include controlling the torsion and molecular rotation step size based on the lipid’s conformation and controlling the order of torsion change attempts. It was found that the proposed sampling technique significantly enhances the r...

متن کاملPivot-coupled grand canonical Monte Carlo method for ring simulations
A new method is presented for the simulation of an ensemble of polymer rings of variable size at fixed monomer chemical potential. Called pivot-coupled grand canonical Monte Carlo ~PC-GCMC!, it is based on the directed addition or removal of a monomer to or from a ring, coupled to the pivot of a section of the ring to maintain the ring’s continuity. Application of PC-GCMC to single, isolated ri...
