Metropolis Monte Carlo (MMC)
MMC Simulations can be carried out in different ensembles. For the case of one-component systems the usual ensembles are:
- Canonical ensemble ( )
- Isothermal-Isobaric ensemble ()
- Grand Canonical Ensemble ()
The purpose of these techniques is to sample representative configurations of the system at the corresponding thermodynamic conditions.
The samplinng techniques make use the so-called Pseudo-Random Numbers generators
Temperature
The temperature is usually fixed in MMC simulations, since in clasical statistics the kinetic degrees of freedom can be generally, integrated out.
