Canonical Ensemble<br />

Canonical Ensemble: when the simulated system is embedded <strong>in</strong> an <strong>in</strong>f<strong>in</strong>ite<br />

heat bath, but does not have particle exchange with this bath, it forms a<br />

canonical ensemble.<br />

Constra<strong>in</strong>ts: 1. System temperature is conserved (not absolutely constant); (T)<br />

<strong>2.</strong> The number of basic particles is conserved; (N)<br />

3. There is a boundary limit (V); or there is a constant pressure (P)<br />

also called (NVT) ensemble or (NPT) ensemble.
