Direct calculation of the solid-liquid Gibbs free energy difference in a single equilibrium simulation

Direct calculation of the solid-liquid Gibbs free energy difference in a single equilibrium simulation

Computing phase diagrams of model systems is an essential part of computational condensed matter physics. In this paper we discuss in detail the interface pinning (IP) method for calculation of the Gibbs free energy difference between a solid and a liquid. This is done in a single equilibrium simulation by …
