Optimizing Noble Gas–Water Interactions via Monte Carlo Simulations

Optimizing Monte Carlo Simulations of Star Clusters with CUDA

Optimizing the performance of dual-axis confocal microscopes via Monte-Carlo scattering simulations and diffraction theory.

Dual-axis confocal (DAC) microscopy has been found to exhibit superior rejection of out-of-focus and multiply scattered background light compared to conventional single-axis confocal microscopy. DAC microscopes rely on the use of separated illumination and collection beam paths that focus and intersect at a single focal volume (voxel) within tissue. While it is generally recognized that the res...

Monte 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...

Monte 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...

Multicanonical 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...
