We review the history of the parallel tempering simulation method. From its origins in data
analysis, the parallel tempering method has become a standard workhorse of …

We present a review of experimental, theoretical, and molecular simulation studies of
confinement effects on freezing and melting. We consider both simple and more complex …

We review state-of-the-art Monte Carlo (MC) techniques for computing fluid coexistence
properties (Gibbs simulations) and adsorption simulations in nanoporous materials such as …

In complex systems with many degrees of freedom such as spin glass and biomolecular
systems, conventional simulations in canonical ensemble suffer from the quasi-ergodicity …

We have studied the efficiency of parallel tempering simulations for a variety of systems
including a coarse-grained protein, an atomistic model polypeptide, and the Lennard-Jones …

An analysis is presented of the average probability of accepting an exchange trial in the
parallel-tempering Monte Carlo molecular simulation method. Arguments are given that this …

This review discusses multiscale modeling and simulations of macromolecules and
macromolecular systems in the context of two specific examples. In the first, recent attempts …

Since 1953, researchers have applied the Monte Carlo method to a wide range of areas.
Specialized algorithms have also been developed to extend the method's applicability and …

In this paper we present a study of pattern formation in bidimensional systems with
competing short-range attractive and long-range repulsive interactions. The interaction …

The formation of clusters in condition of thermodynamic equilibrium can be easily observed
both in two and three dimensions. In two dimensions relevant cases include pattern …
