The Wang-Landau method is used to study the magnetic properties of the giant paramagnetic molecule Mo_72Fe_30 in which 30 Fe3+ ions are coupled via antiferromagnetic exchange. The two-dimensional density of states g(E,M) in energy and magnetization space is calculated using a self-adaptive version of the Wang-Landau method. From g(E,M) the magnetization and magnetic susceptibility can be calculated for any temperature and external field.

Monte Carlo simulations using Wang-Landau sampling are performed to study three-dimensional chains of homopolymers on a lattice. We confirm the accuracy of the method by calculating the thermodynamic properties of this system. Our results are in good agreement with those obtained using Metropolis importance sampling. This algorithm enables one to accurately simulate the usually hardly accessible low-temperature regions since it determines the density of states in a single simulation.
We present modified Wang-Landau algorithm for models with continuous degrees of freedom. We demonstrate this algorithm with the calculation of the joint density of states $g(M,E)$ of ferromagnet Heisenberg models. The joint density of states contains more information than the density of states of a single variable--energy, but is also much more time-consuming to calculate. We discuss the strategies to perform this calculation efficiently for models with several thousand degrees of freedom, much larger than other continuous models studied previously with the Wang-Landau algorithm.
In this work, we present a comparative study of the accuracy provided by the Wang-Landau sampling and the Broad Histogram method to estimate de density of states of the two dimensional Ising ferromagnet. The microcanonical averages used to describe the thermodynamic behaviour and to use the Broad Histogram method were obtained using the single spin-flip Wang-Landau sampling, attempting to convergence issues and accuracy improvements. We compare the results provided by both techniques with the exact ones for thermodynamic properties and critical exponents. Our results, within the Wang-Landau sampling, reveal that the Broad Histogram approach provides a better description of the density of states for all cases analysed.
By combining two generalized-ensemble algorithms, Replica-Exchange Wang-Landau (REWL) method and Multicanonical Replica-Exchange Method (MUCAREM), we propose an effective simulation protocol to determine the density of states with high accuracy. The new protocol is referred to as REWL-MUCAREM, and REWL is first performed and then MUCAREM is performed next. In order to verify the effectiveness of our protocol, we performed simulations of a square-lattice Ising model by the three methods, namely, REWL, MUCAREM, and REWL-MUCAREM. The results showed that the density of states obtained by the REWL-MUCAREM is more accurate than that is estimated by the two methods separately.
It is shown that the algorithm introduced in [1] and conceived to deal with continuous degrees of freedom models is well suited to compute the density of states in models with a discrete energy spectrum too. The q=10 D=2 Potts model is considered as a test case, and it is shown that using the Maxwell construction the interface free energy can be obtained, in the thermodynamic limit, with a good degree of accuracy.
