Logarithmic Finite-Size Effects on Interfacial Free Energies: Phenomenological Theory and Monte Carlo Studies
Fabian Schmitz, Peter Virnau, Kurt Binder
The computation of interfacial free energies between coexisting phases (e.g.~saturated vapor and liquid) by computer simulation methods is still a challenging problem due to the di…

Determination of the origin and magnitude of logarithmic finite-size effects on interfacial tension: Role of interfacial fluctuations and domain breathing
Fabian Schmitz, Peter Virnau, Kurt Binder
The ensemble-switch method for computing wall excess free energies of condensed matter is extended to estimate the interface free energies between coexisting phases very accurately…

Monte Carlo Tests of Nucleation Concepts in the Lattice Gas Model
Fabian Schmitz, Peter Virnau, Kurt Binder
The conventional theory of homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleation in a supersaturated vapor is tested by Monte Carlo simulations of the lattice gas (Ising) model with nearest-nei…
