Abstract

The chemical potential of a fluid can be determined in a Monte Carlo simulation by gradually turning on or off the interaction of one particle with the other particles. This method, which can be employed at densities where a direct use of the Widom formula is impractical, has been tested on a two-dimensional fluid of particles with a Lennard-Jones pair interaction.
