N-body simulations of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC)
|
The Magellanic Clouds and the Milky Way form the nearest ensemble of interacting galaxies. In my
diploma thesis I focused on the dynamical evolution of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and its
dependence on the external interactions with the Milky Way, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC),
and finally the influence of ram pressure on the gaseous disk. It was not aimed to
reproduce all observed features of the Magellanic System, but to investigate the effects
of the interactions on the LMC.

The Ising Model and the method of Finite
Size Scaling
|
On this page you will find a thesis essay on the Ising Model and the method of Finite Size Scaling
using Monte Carlo methods. I've taken an Ising system of lattice size 20x20 and 50x50 and
performed measurements of quantities like magnetization, specific heat and magnetic
susceptibility. In addition I had a closer look at the critical region and determined the
critical temperature and some critical exponents using the method of Finite Size Scaling.
