Effective forces between macroions: a Monte Carlo study

D'Amico, Irene; Löwen, Hartmut - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 237 (1997) 1, pp. 25-30

The effective forces between two spherical highly charged colloidal macroions are calculated within the primitive model of strongly asymmetric electrolytes using Monte Carlo simulations. For typical parameters corresponding to aqueous suspensions of polystyrene spheres, the forces are found to...

Near-surface long-range order at the ordinary transition: scaling analysis and Monte Carlo results

Czerner, Peter; Ritschel, Uwe - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 237 (1997) 1, pp. 240-256

Motivated by recent experimental activities on surface critical phenomena, we present a detailed theoretical study of the near-surface behavior of the local order parameter m(z) in Ising-like spin systems. Special attention is paid to the crossover regime between “ordinary” and “normal”...

Scaling of cluster fluctuations in two-dimensional q=5 and 7 state Potts models

Ortakaya, Burcu; Gündüç, Yiǧit; Aydın, Meral; … - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 242 (1997) 1, pp. 309-314

The scaling behavior of fluctuations in cluster size is studied in q=5 and 7 state Potts models. This quantity exhibits scaling behavior on small lattices where the scaling of local operators like energy fluctuations and Binder cumulant cannot be expected.

Monte Carlo Simulation of Ice Models

Barkema, G. T.; Newman, M. E. J. - Santa Fe Institute - 1997

We propose a number of Monte Carlo algorithms for the simulation of ice models and compare their efficiency. One of them, a cluster algorithm for the equivalent three color model, appears to have a dynamic exponent close to zero, making it particularly useful for simulations of critical ice...

The Behaviour of Real Exchange Rates During the Post-Bretton Woods Period

Sarno, Lucio; Taylor, Mark P - C.E.P.R. Discussion Papers - 1997

Tests for long-run purchasing power parity (PPP) may lack power with sample periods corresponding to the span of the recent float, leading researchers to use more powerful multivariate unit root tests. We point out a potential problem with such tests: joint non-stationarity of real exchange...
