Extracting bulk properties of self-assembling systems from small simulations.
For systems that self-assemble into finite-sized objects, it is sometimes convenient to compute the thermodynamics for a small system where a single assembly can form. However, we show that in the canonical ensemble the use of small systems can lead to significant finite-size effects due to the supp...
