Monte Carlo computer simulations are now a standard tool in
scientific fields such as condensed-matter physics, including
surface-physics and applied-physics problems (metallurgy,
diffusion, and segregation, etc. ), chemical physics, including
studies of solutions, chemical reactions, polymer statistics, etc.,
and field theory. With the increasing ability of this method to
deal with quantum-mechanical problems such as quantum spin systems
or many-fermion problems, it will become useful for other questions
in the fields of elementary-particle and nuclear physics as well.
The large number of recent publications dealing either with
applications or further development of some aspects of this method
is a clear indication that the scientific community has realized
the power and versatility of Monte Carlo simula tions, as well as
of related simulation techniques such as "molecular dynamics" and
"Langevin dynamics," which are only briefly mentioned in the
present book. With the increasing availability of recent
very-high-speed general-purpose computers, many problems become
tractable which have so far escaped satisfactory treatment due to
prac tical limitations (too small systems had to be chosen, or too
short averaging times had to be used). While this approach is
admittedly rather expensive, two cheaper alternatives have become
available, too: (i) array or vector processors specifical ly suited
for wide classes of simulation purposes; (ii) special purpose
processors, which are built for a more specific class of problems
or, in the extreme case, for the simulation of one single model
system."
