Query: Monte Carlo investigations of phase transitions: status and perspectives   Using the concept of finite-size scaling, Monte Carlo calculations of various
models have become a very useful tool for the study of critical phenomena, with
the system linear dimension as a variable. As an example, several recent
studies of Ising models are discussed, as well as the extension to models of
polymer mixtures and solutions. It is shown that using appropriate cluster
algorithms, even the scaling functions describing the crossover from the Ising
universality class to the mean-field behavior with increasing interaction range
can be described. Additionally, the issue of finite-size scaling in Ising
models above the marginal dimension (d*=4) is discussed.
