Anisotropic interfacial tension, contact angles, and line tensions: A graphics-processing-unit-based Monte Carlo study of the Ising model
Benjamin J. Block, Suam Kim, Peter Virnau +1
As a generic example for crystals where the crystal-fluid interface tension depends on the orientation of the interface relative to the crystal lattice axes, the nearest neighbor I…
Monte Carlo Methods for Estimating Interfacial Free Energies and Line Tensions
Kurt Binder, Benjamin Block, Subir K. Das +2
Excess contributions to the free energy due to interfaces occur for many problems encountered in the statistical physics of condensed matter when coexistence between different phas…
Curvature Dependence of Surface Free Energy of Liquid Drops and Bubbles: A Simulation Study
B. J. Block, S. K. Das, M. Oettel +2
We study the excess free energy due to phase coexistence of fluids by Monte Carlo simulations using successive umbrella sampling in finite LxLxL boxes with periodic boundary condit…
Multi-GPU Accelerated Multi-Spin Monte Carlo Simulations of the 2D Ising Model
Benjamin Block, Peter Virnau, Tobias Preis
A modern graphics processing unit (GPU) is able to perform massively parallel scientific computations at low cost. We extend our implementation of the checkerboard algorithm for th…
