Monte Carlo simulation geometry

In all these examples, the importance of good simulation and modeling cannot be stressed enough. A variety of methods have been used in this field to simulate the data in the cases studies described above. Blander et al. [4], for example, used a semi-empirical molecular orbital method, MNDO, to calculate the geometries of the free haloaluminate ions and used these as a basis for the modeling of the data by the RPSU model [12]. Badyal et al. [6] used reverse Monte Carlo simulations, whereas Bowron et al. [11] simulated the neutron data from [MMIM]C1 with the Empirical Potential Structure Refinement (EPSR) model [13].

To evaluate solvent effeets, statistieal meehanical Monte Carlo simulations have been carried out. An important quantity to be computed is the potential of mean force, or free energy profile, as a funetion of the reaction coordinate, X, for a chemical reaction in solution using free energy perturbation method. (44) A straightforward approaeh is to determine free energy differences for incremental changes of certain geometrieal variables that characteristically reflect the...

Currently only Monte Carlo approaches can handle the wide range of surface geometries, reflection models and support complex atomic and molecular processes that occur in real fusion edge plasmas. Therefore the neutral particle transport (ionization, dissociation, etc.) as well as impurity ion transport in the edge region of fusion plasmas is often treated by Monte Carlo simulation on a kinetic level. 

Whereas selective diffusion can be better investigated using classical dynamic or Monte Carlo simulations, or experimental techniques, quantum chemical calculations are required to analyze molecular reactivity. Quantum chemical dynamic simulations provide with information with a too limited time scale range (of the order of several himdreds of ps) to be of use in diffusion studies which require time scale of the order of ns to s. However, they constitute good tools to study the behavior of reactants and products adsorbed in the proximity of the active site, prior to the reaction. Concerning reaction pathways analysis, static quantum chemistry calculations with molecular cluster models, allowing estimates of transition states geometries and properties, have been used for years. The application to solids is more recent. 

Those different aspects (pore size and pore geometry) have been considered in this paper in which we present a study of gas adsorption (Ar, 77 K) in silica pores of different size and shape by atomistic Monte Carlo simulations in the Grand Canonical ensemble (GCMC).
