Studying soft matter with “soft” potentials: fast lattice Monte Carlo simulations and corresponding lattice self-consistent field calculations†
Abstract
We introduce fast lattice Monte Carlo (FLMC) simulations, where multiple occupancy of lattice sites is allowed with a proper Boltzmann weight and thus the evaluation of nearest-neighbor interactions can also be avoided. FLMC simulations (with multiple occupancy of lattice sites and Kronecker δ-function interactions) are much more efficient, in the study of equilibrium properties of soft matter such as
