'''Grand-canonical ensemble Monte Carlo''' (GCEMC | '''Grand-canonical ensemble Monte Carlo''' (GCEMC) is a very versatile and powerful [[Monte Carlo]] technique that explicitly accounts for density fluctuations at fixed volume and [[temperature]]. This is achieved by means of trial insertion and deletion of molecules. Although this feature has made it the preferred choice for the study of [[Interface |interfacial]] phenomena, in the last decade | ||
[[grand canonical ensemble | grand-canonical ensemble]] simulations have also found widespread applications in the study of bulk properties. Such applications had been hitherto limited by the very low particle insertion and deletion probabilities, but the development of the [[Configurational bias Monte Carlo |configurational bias]] grand canonical technique has very much improved the situation. | [[grand canonical ensemble | grand-canonical ensemble]] simulations have also found widespread applications in the study of bulk properties.
