Monte Carlo algorithm for free energy calculation

Abstract: We propose a new Monte Carlo algorithm for the free energy calculation based on configuration space sampling. Upward or downward temperature scan can be used to produce F (T ). We implement this algorithm for Ising model on square lattice and on triangular lattice. Comparison with the exact free energy shows an excellent agreement. We analyse the properties of this algorithm and compare it with Wang-Landau algorithm which samples in energy space. This method is applicable to general classical statistical model… Show more
