pubmed:abstractText |
We present a powerful replica exchange method, particularly suited to first-order phase transitions associated with the backbending in the statistical temperature, by merging an optimally designed generalized ensemble sampling with replica exchanges. The key ingredients of our method are parametrized effective sampling weights, smoothly joining ordered and disordered phases with a succession of unimodal energy distributions by transforming unstable or metastable energy states of canonical ensembles into stable ones. The inverse mapping between the sampling weight and the effective temperature provides a systematic way to design the effective sampling weights and determine a dynamic range of relevant parameters. Illustrative simulations on Potts spins with varying system size and simulation conditions demonstrate a comprehensive sampling for phase-coexistent states with a dramatic acceleration of tunneling transitions. A significant improvement over the power-law slowing down of mean tunneling times with increasing system size is obtained, and the underlying mechanism for accelerated tunneling is discussed.
