We present some results on circumstellar envelopes using a Monte Carlo code we are developing. In contrast to analytical approaches, the effects of multiple scattering and the finite sizes of sources and envelope have been incorporated in the models. As an illustration, we fit the light-curve of V444 Cyg as well as the modulation of the linear polarization throughout its orbit.

Thermal fluctuations of individual actin filaments confined in rectangular microchannels with dimensions similar to the mesh size of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells are studied experimentally using fluorescence microscopy and theoretically by a combination of analytical methods and Monte Carlo simulations. Compared to freely fluctuating filaments, long filaments confined in narrow channels exhibit enhanced tangent correlations and a characteristic shape of their correlation function. The tangent correlation function is calculated analytically by approximating the confining geometry by a parabolic potential. This approximation is validated by Monte Carlo simulations. For the quantitative analysis of experimental data additional corrections for image analysis effects have to be included, for which we provide a modified analytical approximation formula which is corroborated by simulations. This allows us to obtain both the persistence length LP describing the bending rigidity of the polymer and the deflection length λ characterizing confinement effects from fits to the experimental data. Our results confirm the scaling relation λ ∝ d2/3 between the deflection length and the channel width d.

We have performed Monte-Carlo simulations of the growth of GaAs by MBE. We included in our calculations the anisotropy of the migration, the formation of As-and a partial desorption of the As. As an observable we calculated the RHEED signal of the specularly reflected electrons. The results have been compared with experimental data comprising both the damping of the oscillations and the recovery following a growth interrupt. The agreement between experiment and calculations is rather good. Moreover we could identify the mechanisms underlying the fast and the slow component of the recovery.
