چکیده
The parallel-tempering Monte Carlo method is used in combination with a Drude model to characterize the (H2O)6 2 cluster over the 50–190 K temperature range. Chainlike structures are found to account for about 50% of the population at 190 K, whereas they are unimportant at the temperatures below about 130 K. At the lowest temperature considered, prismlike structures are dominant. Two new low-energy forms of (H2O)6 2 are identified. © 2003 American Institute of Physics. @DOI: 10.1063/1.1624597#

Feedback-optimized parallel tempering Monte Carlo
We introduce an algorithm for systematically improving the efficiency of parallel tempering Monte Carlo simulations by optimizing the simulated temperature set. Our approach is closely related to a recently introduced adaptive algorithm that optimizes the simulated statistical ensemble in generalized broad-histogram Monte Carlo simulations. Conventionally, a temperature set is chosen in such a ...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Simulations of Vector Spin Glasses at Low Temperatures
In this paper I report results for simulations of the three-dimensional gauge glass and the four-dimensional XY spin glass using the parallel tempering Monte Carlo method at low temperatures for moderate sizes. The results are qualitatively consistent with earlier work on the threeand four-dimensional Edwards-Anderson Ising spin glass. I find evidence that large-scale excitations may cost only ...
متن کاملDecorrelation of the Topological Charge in Tempered Simulations of Full Qcd
The improvement of simulations of QCD with dynamical Wilson fermions by combining the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm with parallel tempering is studied. As an indicator for decorrelation the topological charge is used.
متن کاملGyration Radius and Energy Study at Different Temperatures for Acetylcholine Receptor Protein in Gas Phase by Monte Carlo, Molecular and Langevin Dynamics Simulations
The determination of gyration radius is a strong research for configuration of a Macromolecule. Italso reflects molecular compactness shape. In this work, to characterize the behavior of theprotein, we observe quantities such as the radius of gyration and the average energy. We studiedthe changes of these factors as a function of temperature for Acetylcholine receptor protein in gasphase with n...
متن کاملPhase changes in 38-atom Lennard-Jones clusters. I. A parallel tempering study in the canonical ensemble
The heat capacity and isomer distributions of the 38-atom Lennard-Jones cluster have been calculated in the canonical ensemble using parallel tempering Monte Carlo methods. A distinct region of temperature is identified that corresponds to equilibrium between the global minimum structure and the icosahedral basin of structures. This region of temperatures occurs below the melting peak of the he...
