Coarse-Grained Modeling of the Phase Behavior of Thermodynamically Small Particle Assemblies

The phase behavior of systems that are termed thermodynamically small has been the subject of intensive theoretical study over the past two decades. These finite systems consist of order less than 100 particles; as such, they are far removed from the infinite limit of traditional macroscopic thermod...
