Hybrid Path Integral Monte Carlo/Molecular Dynamics Approach for the Simulation of Rigid Rotating and Translating Molecules
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-23)The path integral formulation of quantum statistical mechanics [1] is widely used for formulating the partition function and diverse thermodynamic properties. The basic objective of this thesis is to present the benchmark ... -
Octupolar Ordering in the b>0 Bilinear-Biquadratic Heisenberg Pyrochlore
(University of Waterloo, 2019-01-25)We investigate the bilinear-biquadratic Heisenberg model on the pyrochlore lattice. While negative biquadratic couplings result in a first-order transition into a nematic ordered state with spins aligned mutually ...
