Overview

Computer simulation now forms one of the major tools of research in physics and the Monte Carlo method is an important simulation method in the area of condensed matter physics. This book describes the state of the art of simulation methods in solid state physics. It also reviews selected applications in areas of particular current interest, like simulations of growth processes far from equilibrium, interfacial phenomena, quantum and classical fluids, polymers, quantum problems on lattices, and randon systems. New to this edition is a chapter on recent developments in the Monte Carlo simulation of condensed matter.
