Overview
- Nominated as an outstanding PhD thesis by the University of Cambridge, UK
- Enables the calculation of partition functions as explicit functions of temperature for realistic models of materials directly from atomic interactions
- Allows the determination of complete phase diagrams and pressure–volume–temperature equations of state
- Illustrates the efficiency of the algorithm which paves the way for the automated calculation of phase diagrams
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
