	abstract = {We consider a near-critical fluid of hard spheres with short-range interactions (similar tor(-6)) and obtain its constant-volume heat capacity C-V by means of Monte Carlo calculations in the canonical ensemble. The question addressed is whether or not the heat capacities of the finite-size systems studied in simulations can provide a reliable indication of nonclassical criticality. For the model fluid considered here this is found to be the case. The heat capacity along the critical isochore shows a peak near the critical temperature, with a system size dependence that is consistent with the known Ising universality class of the model. The relevance of our results to recent attempts to determine the universality class of ionic fluids through calculations of C-V is briefly discussed. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.},

	abstract = {The vapor-liquid criticality of a fluid of charged hard dumbbells is investigated employing grand canonical Monte Carlo simulations and mixed-field finite-size scaling methods. The reduced critical temperature and density obtained are T-c(*)=0.04911+/-0.00003 and rho(c)(*)=0.101+/-0.003, respectively. The critical temperature is very close to that of the restricted primitive model (RPM) for ionic fluids, while the critical density is similar to25\% larger than that of the RPM. The "fits" to the Ising ordering operator distribution are good, and are of similar quality to those found for the RPM with systems of comparable size. However, for the finite-size systems simulated, the constant volume heat capacity, C-V, gives no indication of an Ising-type "divergence" at T-c. This is analogous to the RPM, and serves to demonstrate that this still puzzling behavior is not restricted to that model. (C) 2003 American Institute of Physics.},

	abstract = {This Letter addresses basic questions concerning ferroelectric order in positionally disordered dipolar materials. Three models distinguished by dipole vectors that have one, two, or three components are studied by computer simulation. Randomly frozen and dynamically disordered media are considered. It is shown that ferroelectric order is possible in spatially random systems, but that its existence is very sensitive to the dipole vector dimensionality and the motion of the medium. A physical analysis of our results provides significant insight into the nature of ferroelectric transitions.},
