Summary
In this paper, a classical parallel-tempering isothermal-isobaric Monte Carlo method
together with a two-dimensional multiple histogram approach is proposed as a general
and efficient tool for computations of complete thermodynamic information concerning
a simulated system under various thermodynamic conditions. As an illustration,
calculated two-dimensional density of states are used in computations of caloric
curves and heat capacity curves in two different statistical ensembles, isothermal-isobaric
ensemble and isothermal-isochoric (canonical) ensemble. The approach is
tested on selected water clusters interacting using a flexible TIP4P potential. Canonical
heat capacity and caloric curves obtained from isothermal-isobaric Monte Carlo
simulations are compared with those obtained directly from canonical simulations.
