摘要
Classical parallel-tempering Monte Carlo simulations of [H2O](48) and [H2O](118) have been performed in the isothermal-isobaric ensemble and a two-dimensional multiple-histogram method has been used to calculate the heat capacity of the two clusters. A semiempirical procedure is proposed for the inclusion of quantum effects and transformed heat capacity profiles are compared with state-of-the-art experimental data [C. Hock et al., Phys. Rev. Lett., 2009, 103, 073401]. A very good agreement is achieved. A detailed analysis of the simulation data is provided to gain an insight into the nature of the phase change which takes place in the two clusters at T approximate to 100 K.
