摘要
A method that combines the best elements of thermodynamic integration and the Gibbs ensemble technique is proposed for the direct evaluation of phase equilibria by molecular simulation. Given the conditions of coexistence at a single state point, simultaneous but independent NPT simulations of each phase are performed in succession along the saturation line. In each simulation, the pressure is adjusted to satisfy chemical potential equality according to the Gibbs-Duhem equation. Each coexistence point is determined by just one simulation, and particle insertions are never performed or attempted. Vapour-liquid coexistence for the Lennard-Jones model is evaluated, and extensions are discussed.
