What is the definition of ergodicity in Monte Carlo?
I've been writing a manuscript about the breakdown of ergodicity in single spin flip Metropolis algorithm Monte Carlo arXiv:2001.09268.
The definition I have been using is: a Markov process is ...

Methods to handle non-ergodic systems with Molecular Dynamics
Given the large difference between simulation timescales and the timescales on which we normally interact with ensembles of molecules, the time average of a molecular dynamics simulation does not ...

Scripts to calculate ionic diffusivity
I found several AIMD analyzers to estimate mean square displacement and ionic diffusivity such as pymatgen, mo, vaspkit. I tried some tests and found that the same data set might result in different ...
