This chapter contains the essential statistical mechanics required to understand the inner workings of, and interpretation of results from, computer simulations. The microcanonical, canonical, isothermal–isobaric, semigrand and grand canonical ensembles are defined. Thermodynamic, structural, and dynamical properties of simple and complex liquids are related to appropriate functions of molecular positions and velocities. A number of important thermodynamic properties are defined in terms of fluctuations in these ensembles. The effect of the inclusion of hard constraints in the underlying potential model on the calculated properties is considered, and the addition of long-range and quantum corrections to classical simulations is presented. The extension of statistical mechanics to describe inhomogeneous systems such as the planar gas–liquid interface, fluid membranes, and liquid crystals, and its application in the simulation of these systems, are discussed.

Complementary Techniques

After reviewing some of the basic measurements that characterize the study of physical properties of matter using neutron scattering and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), connections between information obtained in current research on fluid membranes using these two complementary techniques are explored in two major chapters. In the first, the type of information on the structure of fluid membranes obtained from coherent elastic neutron scattering is compared with that from NMR spectral characteristics. Then, the type of information obtained on dynamical properties from NMR relaxation (T1 and T2) measurements is compared with that from quasi-elastic neutron scattering. Examples of such connections are given with an emphasis on relationships between the time and distance scales intrinsic to neutron scattering and NMR.
