摘要: A Monte Carlo method based on a density-of-states sampling is proposed for study of arbitrary statistical mechanical ensembles in continuum. random walk the two-dimensional space particle number and energy used to estimate density states system; this continuously updated as visits individual states. The validity usefulness are demonstrated by applying it simulation Lennard-Jones fluid. Results its thermodynamic properties, including vapor–liquid phase coexistence curve, shown be good agreement with high-accuracy literature data.
