In molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) free energy calculations, the choices of the thermodynamic paths from state a to state b affect the accuracy of the result and the efficiency of the programs. Most of the problems occur at the initial stages of growing in a new particle into a solvent.
The classical and quantum-mechanical free energies of crystalline (fee) argon were determined at two state points by classical and path integral Monte Carlo methods. The quantum corrections to the free energy, energy and pressure so obtained are compared with corrections based on the harmonic approx
