Monte Carlo Simulation in Statistical Physics : An Introduction Paperback / softback
by Kurt Binder, Dieter W. Heermann
Part of the Graduate Texts in Physics series
Paperback / softback
Description
Monte Carlo Simulation in Statistical Physics deals with the computer simulation of many-body systems in condensed-matter physics and related fields of physics, chemistry and beyond, to traffic flows, stock market fluctuations, etc.).
Using random numbers generated by a computer, probability distributions are calculated, allowing the estimation of the thermodynamic properties of various systems.
This book describes the theoretical background to several variants of these Monte Carlo methodsand gives a systematic presentation from which newcomers can learn to perform such simulations and to analyze their results.
The fifth edition covers Classical as well as Quantum Monte Carlo methods.
Furthermore a new chapter on the sampling of free energy landscapes has been added.
To help students in their work a special web server has been installed to host programs and discussion groups (http://wwwcp.tphys.uni-heidelberg.de).
Prof. Binder was the winner of the Berni J. Alder CECAM Award for Computational Physics 2001 as well as the Boltzmann Medal in 2007.
