Finite-size scaling of Lennard-Jones droplet formation at fixed density

Description

We reaccess the droplet condensation-evaporation transition of a three-dimensional Lennard-Jones system upon a temperature change. With the help of parallel multicanonical simulations we obtain precise estimates of the transition temperature and the width of the transition for systems with up to 2048 particles. This allows us to supplement previous observations of finite-size scaling regimes with a clearer picture also for the case of a continuous particle model. (paper)
