| The interface pinning method |
| Speaker: | Ulf R. Pedersen (Vienna University of Technology) |
| Abstract: | An important aspect of computational condensed matter physics is the computation of phase diagrams. The thermodynamically stable phase is the one with the lowest Gibbs free energy. "Interface pinning" is a method where the Gibbs free energy differences between phases is computed directly in a single equilibrium simulation. This is done by applying an artificial external field that biases the system towards two-phase configurations. The Gibbs free energy difference is then determined from the average force that the field exert on the system. In addition, the method gives information about the interface between the phases. |
