Understanding the temperature and the chemical potential using computer simulations

arXiv:physics/0411161 · doi:10.1119/1.1834923

Abstract

Several Monte Carlo algorithms and applications that are useful for understanding the concepts of temperature and chemical potential are discussed. We then introduce a generalization of the demon algorithm that measures the chemical potential and is suitable for simulating systems with variable particle number.
