Phase Diagram of Random Copolymer Melts:  A Computer Simulation Study

2004

We investigate the phase behavior of random copolymer melts via large-scale Monte Carlo simulations. The AB multiblock copolymers have, on average, symmetric composition and are characterized by a ...

A Cluster Monte Carlo Algorithm for 2-Dimensional Spin Glasses

2001

A new Monte Carlo algorithm for 2-dimensional spin glasses is presented. The use of clusters makes possible global updates and leads to a gain in speed of several orders of magnitude. As an example, we study the 2-dimensional +/-J Edwards-Anderson model. The new algorithm allows us to equilibrate systems of size 100^2 down to temperature T = 0.1. Our main result is that the correlation length diverges as an exponential and not as a power law as T -> Tc = 0.
