The Widom insertion method and ordering in small hard-sphere systems
We study a small system of spherically confined hard spheres using the Widom particle insertion method as an indicator for the ordering transition. By Monte Carlo simulations we determine the insertion probability as a function of the number of particles and the box size. We find an increase of the...
