Over the last decade flat-histogram Monte Carlo simulations, especially multi-canonical and
Wang–Landau simulations, have emerged as a strong tool to study the statistical mechanics …

We review the current state on the thermodynamic behavior and structural phases of self-
and mutually-attractive dilute semiflexible polymers that undergo temperature-driven …

The recent experimental realization of exotic matter states in isolated quantum systems and
the ensuing controversy about the existence of negative absolute temperatures demand a …

We introduce a systematic classification method for the analogs of phase transitions in finite
systems. This completely general analysis, which is applicable to any physical system and …

The structural mechanics of proteins that fold into functional shapes, polymers that
aggregate and form clusters, and organic macromolecules that bind to inorganic matter can …

Here, we establish an approach to determine temperature-dependent aggregation rates in
terms of thermostatistical quantities, which can be obtained directly from flat-histogram and …

Depending on the exact experimental conditions, the thermodynamic properties of physical
systems can be related to one or more thermostatistical ensembles. Here, we survey the …

We study the aggregation transition of a finite theta-polymer system in dependence on the
bending stiffness κ with the help of parallel multicanonical simulations. In order to distinguish …

Aggregation transitions in disordered mesoscopic systems play an important role in several
areas of knowledge, from materials science to biology. The lack of a thermodynamic limit in …

Protein folding cooperativity is defined by the nature of the finite-size thermodynamic
transition exhibited upon folding: two-state transitions show a free-energy barrier between …
