Improving the efficiency of computation of free energy differences

There has been a recent focus on investigating the properties of semi-conductors at the nanoscale as it is well known that the band-gap of semi-conducting materials is altered due to quantum confinement effects. The potential to fine-tune a material's properties based solely on particle size ha...
