Monte Carlo studies of phase transitions and adsorption : application to n-6 Lennard-Jones, C60 and zeolite systems

The solid-fluid transition properties of the n - 6 Lennard-Jones system are studied by means of extensive free energy calculations. Different values of the parameter n which regulates the steepness of the short-range repulsive interaction are investigated. Furthermore, the free energies of the n <...
