Configurational bias Monte Carlo applications

Applications of the Configurational Bias Monte Carlo Method... 

Frenkel [3,7] has recently given a review of configurational bias methods for simulation of polymers. An account of these methods and their application to phase equilibria calculations is also described in the first chapter in this volume (by I. Siepmann). Here we merely outline the main ideas behind them (see also Fig. 1). In a configurational bias Monte Carlo move... 

Abstract The use of configurational-bias Monte Carlo simulations in tbe Gibbs ensemble allows for the sampling of phenomena that occur on vastly different time and length scales. In this review, applications of this simulation approach to probe retention in gas and reversed-phase liquid chromatographic systems are discussed. These simulations provide an unprecedented view of the retention processes at the molecular-level and show excellent agreement with experimental retention data.
