Abstract

The excess free energy and entropy of three water models (ST2, MCY and SPC) are determined using Monte Carlo thermodynamic integration, with soft spheres as a reference system. The method used is compared with two other methods, the umbrella sampling and the overlap ratio methods. A simple self check for the umbrella sampling method is proposed.
