Recent Developments in Monte Carlo Simulations of First-Order Phase Transitions
Abstract
Description
In the past few years considerable progress has been made in Monte Carlo simulations of first-order phase transitions and in the analysis of the resulting finite-size data. In this paper special emphasis will be placed on multicanonical simulations using multigrid update techniques, on numerical estimates of interface tensions, and on accurate methods for determining the transition point and latent heat.
