Thermodynamics of long supercoiled molecules: insights from highly efficient Monte Carlo simulations.
Supercoiled DNA polymer models for which the torsional energy depends on the total twist of molecules (Tw) are a priori well suited for thermodynamic analysis of long molecules. So far, nevertheless, the exact determination of Tw in these models has been based on a computation of the writhe of the molecules (Wr) by exploiting the conservation of the linking number, Lk=Tw+Wr, which reflects topo...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Device Simulations
As semiconductor devices are scaled into nanoscale regime, first velocity saturation starts to limit the carrier mobility due to pronounced intervalley scattering, and when the device dimensions are scaled to 100 nm and below, velocity overshoot starts to dominate the device behavior leading to larger ON-state currents. Alongside with the developments in the semiconductor nanotechnology, in rec...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulations.
A description of Monte Carlo methods for simulation of proteins is given. Advantages and disadvantages of the Monte Carlo approach are presented. The theoretical basis for calculating equilibrium properties of biological molecules by the Monte Carlo method is presented. Some of the standard and some of the more recent ways of performing Monte Carlo on proteins are presented. A discussion of the...
متن کاملMulticanonical Monte Carlo simulations
Canonical Monte Carlo simulations of disordered systems like spin glasses and systems undergoing rst-order phase transitions are severely hampered by rare event states which lead to exponentially diverging autocorrelation times with increasing system size and hence to exponentially large statistical errors. One possibility to overcome this problem is the multicanonical reweighting method. Using...
متن کاملConvergence of Monte Carlo simulations to equilibrium.
We give two direct, elementary proofs that a Monte Carlo simulation converges to equilibrium provided that appropriate conditions are satisfied. The first proof requires detailed balance while the second is quite general.
