Ray Microcanonical Monte Carlo Model 

written by Fernando Silva Fernandes

The Ray Microcanonical Monte Carlo Model implements microcanonical simulations, with the Lennard-Jones potential, by integrating the kinetic contributions to the Hamiltonian and sampling the configuration space.  This model is based on a method developed by John R. Ray.  The input fields are editable allowing the study of different regions of the phase diagram. Radial distribution functions are displayed and average thermodynamic properties and their fluctuations are displayed.

The Ray Microcanonical Monte Carlo Model was developed using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) modeling tool.  It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive.   Double clicking the jar file will run the program if Java is installed.  You can modify this simulation if you have EJS installed by right-clicking within the map and selecting "Open Ejs Model" from the pop-up menu item.
