Volume-change Trial Move 1. Specification
Gives new configuration of different volume and same N and sN
Basic trial:
- increase or decrease the total system volume by some amount within ±dV, scaling all molecule centers-of-mass in proportion to the linear scaling of the volume
Limiting probability distribution
- isothermal-isobaric ensemble
-
-
-
Examine underlying transition probabilities to formulate acceptance criterion
Remember how volume-scaling was used in derivation of virial formula
