Transition barrier at a first-order phase transition in the canonical and microcanonical ensemble
Wolfhard Janke, Philipp Schierz, Johannes Zierenberg
We compare the transition barrier that accompanies a first-order phase transition in the canonical and microcanonical ensemble. This is directly encoded in the probability distribu…

Canonical free-energy barrier of particle and polymer cluster formation
Johannes Zierenberg, Philipp Schierz, Wolfhard Janke
A common approach to study nucleation rates is the estimation of free-energy barriers. This usually requires knowledge about the shape of the forming droplet, a task that becomes n…
