How Small a System is Too Small for Studying Liquid Behavior?
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 1992
Abstract
Although it is often convenient to perform computer simulations with small systems, in liquids the structure obtained using a small system may not be the same that would be obtained in the thermodynamic limit. In this paper we address the question specifically for the case of Stillinger-Weber silicon, identifying the region of density and temperature where small systems give different results from larger systems.
