whats the difference in phase space in Molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation?
I1
Give an example how it is applied in molecular dynamics simulation and Monte carlo simulation?
Typical distributions of particles in a volume (e.g. crystal structure for a solid, or distribution of masses and velocities in a “typical” galaxy) - Distributions of particle velocities/energies (e.g. Boltzmann distribution at a fixed temperature)
- E.g. for a liquid it is common to start with a solid crystal structure and let the structure “melt” (by setting appropriate velocities corresponding to the liquid phase temperature!)
- E.g. to setup a collision of two galaxies, you could try to generate a stable distribution of masses and velocities for a single galaxy first by performing a separate simulation
-E.g. A simple model of a phase transition between a low temperature ordered phase (ferromagnet) and high temperature disordered phase (paramagnet)
