Abstract
Monte Carlo calculations of the thermodynamic and elastic properties of a classical nearest-neighbor Lennard-Jones solid have been carried out, for comparison with previous calculations using the cell-cluster method. The agreement between the results obtained by the two methods is very good. The dependence of the Monte Carlo results on sample size and on number of configurations was investigated. A simple correction for finite sample size is shown to be very accurate.Keywords
