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 …

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 …

Mixing nanoparticles into a strategically selected polymer matrix yields nanocomposites with
well-controlled microstructures and unique properties and functions. The modulation of …

Semiflexible polymers in solution are studied for a wide range of both contour length L and
persistence length p as a function of monomer concentration under good solvent conditions …

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 …

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 …

We present a computer simulation study of the aggregation and ordering of short alkane
chains using a united atom model description. Our simulation approach allows us to …

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 …
