We present a set of expressions for evaluating energies and forces between particles interacting logarithmically in a finite two-dimensional system with periodic boundary conditions. The formalism can be used for fast and accurate, dynamical or Monte Carlo, simulations of interacting line charges or interactions between point and line charges. The expressions are shown to converge to usual computer accuracy (~10–16) by adding only few terms in a single sum of standard trigonometric functions.

We show that for two-dimensional square Ising systems unphysical frozen states are obtained by just changing the instant of application of periodic boundary conditions during Monte Carlo simulations. The strange behavior is observed up to sample sizes currently used in literature. The anomalous results appear to be associated to the simultaneous use of type writer updating algorithms; they disappear when random access routines are implemented.

A grand ensemble Monte Carlo procedure is used to examine the thermodynamic properties of a crystal-like layer of krypton adsorbed at sub-monolayer coverages on graphite at 90.12 K. The effect of the periodic boundary conditions on these properties is discussed and used to develop a thermodynamically consistent iterative procedure to estimate the transition pressure and thereby fix the adsorption isotherm.

Abstract A spatially two-dimensional sixth order PDE describing the evolution of a growing crystalline surface h(x, y, t) that undergoes faceting is considered with periodic boundary conditions, as well as its reduced one-dimensional version. These equations are expressed in terms of the slopes $$u_1=h_{x}$$ u 1 = h x and $$u_2=h_y$$ u 2 = h y to establish the existence of global, connected attractors for both equations. Since unique solutions are guaranteed for initial conditions in $$\dot{H}^2_{per}$$ H ˙ p e r 2 , we consider the solution operator $$S(t): \dot{H}^2_{per} \rightarrow \dot{H}^2_{per}$$ S ( t ) : H ˙ p e r 2 → H ˙ p e r 2 , to gain our results. We prove the necessary continuity, dissipation and compactness properties.

Monte Carlo simulations showing thermodynamic stability of a non-periodic solid phase in a system of two-dimensional hard, homonuclear dimers are reviewed briefly. The thermodynamic stability of this phase, called degenerate (or disordered) crystal, follows from a huge degeneracy of the close packed structure of the dimers. The degenerate crystalline phase and its various analogues constitute intermediate steps on a path joining periodically ordered crystalline states with completely disordered states of matter.
