Xlonte Carlo simulations in the MJ7T-ensemble have been performed on liquid mater between two rigrd walk. Variations m denstty and in ortentation of water molecules have been calculated as a function of distance from the walls. OscilJations in .I number of properties have been found and extend sever
Monte Carlo statistical mechanics simulations have been carried out with the TIP3P, SPC, and TIP4P models for liquid water at 13 temperatures from y50ΠC to 100ΠC at 1 atm. Long runs with 512 water molecules provided definitive results for densities. Although the TIP4P model yields a flat region in t
In this article the Taylor-expansion method is introduced by which Monte Carlo ( \(\mathrm{MC}\) ) simulations in the canonical ensemble can be speeded up significantly. Substantial gains in computational speed of \(20-40 \%\) over conventional implementations of the \(M C\) technique are obtained o
The condensed phase of the alternating copolyester of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (HBA) and 2-hydroxy-6-naphthoic acid (HNA) is investigated by studying the room temperature packing arrangement of the copolymer chains. A molecular modeling methodology is employed with a Monte Carlo sampling of the configu
A theoretical model to investigate chemical processes in solution is described. It is based on the use of a coupled density functional/molecular mechanics Hamiltonian. The most interesting feature of the method is that it allows a detailed study of the solute's electronic distribution and of its flu
