Dynamics of surface steps
Szalma, F; Selke, W; Fischer, S - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 294 (2001) 3, pp. 313-322
In the framework of SOS models, the dynamics of isolated and pairs of surface steps of monoatomic height is studied, for step–edge diffusion and for evaporation kinetics, using Monte Carlo techniques. In particular, various interesting crossover phenomena are identified. Simulational results...

First-order phase transition of triangulated surfaces on a spherical core
Koibuchi, Hiroshi - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 390 (2011) 23, pp. 4105-4113
We study an intrinsic curvature model defined on fixed-connectivity triangulated lattices enclosing a spherical core by using the canonical Monte Carlo simulation technique. We find that the model undergoes a discontinuous transition of shape transformation between the smooth state and a...

Specific heat of two-dimensional diluted magnets
Selke, W.; Shchur, L.N.; Vasilyev, O.A. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 259 (1998) 3, pp. 388-396
Using Monte Carlo techniques, the two-dimensional site-diluted Ising model is studied. In particular, properties of the specific heat, its critical behaviour and the emergence of a non-singular maximum above the transition temperature at moderate concentration of defects, are discussed.

Percolation processes in monomer-polyatomic mixtures
Dolz, M.; Nieto, F.; Ramirez-Pastor, A.J. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 374 (2007) 1, pp. 239-250
In this paper, the percolation of mixtures of monomers and polyatomic species (k-mers) on a square lattice is studied. By means of a finite-size scaling analysis, the critical exponents and the scaling collapsing of the fraction of percolating lattices are found. A phase diagram separating a...

Thermostatistics of extensive and non-extensive systems using generalized entropies
Salazar, R.; Toral, R. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 290 (2001) 1, pp. 159-191
We describe in detail two numerical simulation methods valid to study systems whose thermostatistics is described by generalized entropies, such as Tsallis. The methods are useful for applications to non-trivial interacting systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, and both short- and...
