Phase changes in 38-atom Lennard-Jones clusters. I. A parallel tempering study in the canonical ensemble

Phase changes in 38-atom Lennard-Jones clusters. I. A parallel tempering study in the canonical ensemble

The heat capacity and isomer distributions of the 38 atom Lennard-Jones cluster have been calculated in the canonical ensemble using parallel tempering Monte Carlo methods. A distinct region of temperature is identified that corresponds to equilibrium between the global minimum structure and the icosahedral basin of structures. This region of …
