Potential of Mean Force between a Spherical Particle Suspended in a Nematic Liquid Crystal and a Substrate
Evelina B. Kim, Roland Faller, Qiliang Yan +2
We consider a system where a spherical particle is suspended in a nematic liquid crystal confined between two walls. We calculate the liquid-crystal mediated potential of mean forc…

Density of States Monte Carlo Method for Simulation of Fluids
Qiliang Yan, Roland Faller, Juan J. de Pablo
A Monte Carlo method based on a density-of-states sampling is proposed for study of arbitrary statistical mechanical ensembles in a continuum. A random walk in the two-dimensional…

Multicanonical Parallel Tempering
Roland Faller, Qiliang Yan, Juan J. de Pablo
We present a novel implementation of the parallel tempering Monte Carlo method in a multicanonical ensemble. Multicanonical weights are derived by a self-consistent iterative proce…
