TL;DR: In this paper, the Schrodinger equation at the surface is solved and the surface phase transitions are compared with phase transitions in the bulk of the phase transition at surface, and a brief review of surface effects on bulk phase transitions.

Monte Carlo tests of renormalization-group predictions for critical phenomena in Ising models
Kurt Binder,Erik Luijten +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review of Monte Carlo simulations of ferromagnetic Ising models is given, with a detailed comparison to theoretical predictions. But this review is limited to the case of single-spin flip vs. cluster algorithms.
Surface coupling effect on wetting and layering transitions
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of surface coupling on the dependency of the layering transition temperature of a spin-1/2 Ising film was studied using the mean field theory, and it was shown that for any values of the surface magnetic field, the layer transition temperature decreases with increasing the film thickness.
Crystallization in three- and two-dimensional colloidal suspensions.
TL;DR: Recent progress in the study of homogeneous and heterogeneous crystal nucleation in colloids and the controlled growth of crystalline colloidal structures is reviewed, resulting in unprecedented insights into the early stage of nucleation.
The Vanishing water/oil interface in the presence of antagonistic salt.
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of an antagonistic salt, tetraphenylphosphonium chloride PPh4+Cl-, in a mixture of water and 2,6-lutidine was investigated by means of Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations.
Phase separation in confined geometries
TL;DR: In this article, an overview of the simulation approaches to phase separation is given, with an emphasis on solutions of a diffusive Ginzburg-Landau model, and two recent alternative approaches: a local molecular field approximation to the Kawasaki spin exchange model on a lattice; and molecular dynamics simulations of a fluid binary Lennard-Jones mixture.
