Pulling an adsorbed polymer chain off a solid surface
S. Bhattacharya, A. Milchev, V. G. Rostiashvili +1
The thermally assisted detachment of a self-avoiding polymer chain from an adhesive surface by an external force applied to one of the chain ends is investigated. We perform our st…
Forced-induced desorption of a polymer chain adsorbed on an attractive surface - Theory and Computer Experiment
S. Bhattacharya, V. G. Rostiashvili, A. Milchev +1
We consider the properties of a self-avoiding polymer chain, adsorbed on a solid attractive substrate which is attached with one end to a pulling force. The conformational properti…
Polyelectrolytes in electric fields: Measuring the dynamical effective charge and effective friction
Kai Grass, Christian Holm
We use a coarse-grained molecular dynamics model to study the electrophoretic behaviour of flexible polyelectrolyte chains. We first characterize the static properties of the model…
Frequency dependent deformation of liquid crystal droplets in an external electric field
Günter K. Auernhammer, Jinyu Zhao, Beate Ullrich +1
Nematic drops suspended in the isotropic phase of the same substance were subjected to alternating electrical fields of varying frequency. The system was carefully kept in the isot…
Polymer desorption under pulling: a novel dichotomic phase transition
S. Bhattacharya, V. G. Rostiashvili, A. Milchev +1
We show that the structural properties and phase behavior of a self-avoiding polymer chain on adhesive substrate, subject to pulling at the chain end, can be obtained by means of a…
Colloidal electrophoresis: Scaling analysis, Green-Kubo relation, and numerical results
B. Duenweg, V. Lobaskin, K. Seethalakshmy-Hariharan +1
We consider electrophoresis of a single charged colloidal particle in a finite box with periodic boundary conditions, where added counterions and salt ions ensure charge neutrality…
