Title: The difference between PMF/PT-MC and setting each MF/Temperature GCMC job
Post by: jimmy on April 18, 2021, 07:40:01 AM
Dear all,
I am wondering what is the difference between the PMF/PT-MC simulations and we set several GCMC jobs with different Mole Fractions or Temperatures? Will PMF/PT-MC produce higher acceptance than we set individual jobs?

Thank you.

Parallel tempering (PT)
Parallel mole fraction (PMF)

Adsorption is most difficult to compute at low temperatures where the system might get stuck in meta-stable states. With parallel-tempering and hyper-parallel tempering you overcome these free energy bottle necks. Also techniques like expanded ensembles help to overcome the problem of low insertion/deletion rates.
