Abstract: In the general overview on materials and their characteristics, outlined in Sect. 1.3, it has been stated that materials and their characteristics result from the processing of matter. Thus, condensed matter physics is one of the fundamentals for the understanding of materials. The Monte Carlo Method, which is a powerful method in this respect, is presented in this final chapter of the Handbookʼs Part E on Modelling and Simulation Methods as follows:

Unusual ordered phases of highly frustrated magnets: a review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review ground states and excitations of a quantum antiferromagnet on triangular and other frustrated lattices, and pay special attention to the combined effects of magnetic field h, spatial anisotropy R and spin magnitude S.

Impact of Error in Pavement Condition Data on the Output of Network-Level Pavement Management Systems
TL;DR: The study results show that both systematic and random errors can highly distort somePMS output parameters, even in error ranges that may be considered acceptable in practice, and can help highway agencies optimize processes for collecting pavement condition data by focusing on error levels and types that cause the greatest impact on PMS output.

Exponential sums with Dickson polynomials
TL;DR: New bounds of exponential sums with sequences of iterations of Dickson polynomials over prime finite fields are given, motivated by possible applications to polynomial generators of pseudorandom numbers.

- 01 Mar 2002
TL;DR: In this article, high-temperature expansions provide a basis for efficient Monte Carlo simulations, and the authors show that local, Metropolis-type schemes using this approach appear to have dynamical critical exponents close to zero (i.e., their efficiency is comparable to the best cluster methods).

Optimization by Simulated Annealing
TL;DR: There is a deep and useful connection between statistical mechanics and multivariate or combinatorial optimization (finding the minimum of a given function depending on many parameters), and a detailed analogy with annealing in solids provides a framework for optimization of very large and complex systems.

Equation of state calculations by fast computing machines
TL;DR: In this article, a modified Monte Carlo integration over configuration space is used to investigate the properties of a two-dimensional rigid-sphere system with a set of interacting individual molecules, and the results are compared to free volume equations of state and a four-term virial coefficient expansion.
Ground state of the electron gas by a stochastic method
David M. Ceperley,Berni J. Alder +1 more
TL;DR: An exact stochastic simulation of the Schroedinger equation for charged Bosons and Fermions was used to calculate the correlation energies, to locate the transitions to their respective crystal phases at zero temperature within 10%, and to establish the stability at intermediate densities of a ferromagnetic fluid of electrons.

Density matrix formulation for quantum renormalization groups
TL;DR: A generalization of the numerical renormalization-group procedure used first by Wilson for the Kondo problem is presented and it is shown that this formulation is optimal in a certain sense.
