This dice was inspired in a figure found in the book
A Guide to Monte Carlo
Simulations in Statistical Physics
by Landau & Binder
The
LSP
history
is
anchored
back
in
the
beginning
of
the
90’s.
Initially
dedicated
to
the
study
of
phase
transitions
in
spin
systems
like
1D
and
2D
Heisenberg
models
we
were
interested
in
the
quest
of
the
contribution
of
solitons
and
vortices
to
the
thermodynamic
of
the
models.
At
the
end
of
the
90’s
we
began
a
long
term
project
in
Spin
and
Molecular
Dynamics.
Simulation
of
Crystal
Growth,
Microscopy
Friction,
Vortex
Dynamics,
Polymer
and
spin
ice
.
Recently
a
new
method
to
simulate
long
range
interactions
and
a
technique
to
analyse
phase
transitions
based
on
the
Fisher
zeroes
and
the
single
histogram
method
were
developed
in
the
LSP.
The
motivation
pushing
our
research
up
can be synthesized in two classic quotes attributed to
Faraday:
- Whilst attempting to explain a discovery to either Gladstone (Chancellor) or Peel (Prime
Minister) he was asked, 'But, after all, what use is it?' Faraday replied, 'Why sir, there is the
probability that you will soon be able to tax it.'
- When the Prime Minister asked of a new discovery, 'What good is it?', Faraday replied, 'What
good is a new-born baby?'
