The effect of Coulombic friction on spatial displacement statistics

Andreas M. Menzel, Nigel Goldenfeld

The phenomenon of Coulombic friction enters the stochastic description of dry friction between two solids and the statistic characterization of vibrating granular media. Here we an…

Collapse dynamics of copolymers in a poor solvent: Influence of hydrodynamic interactions and chain sequence

Tri Thanh Pham, Burkhard Duenweg, J. Ravi Prakash

We investigate the dynamics of the collapse of a single copolymer chain, when the solvent quality is suddenly quenched from good to poor. We employ Brownian dynamics simulations of…

A new charge-transfer complex in UHV co-deposited tetramethoxypyrene and tetracyanoquinodimethane

K. Medjanik, S. Perkert, S. Naghavi +11

UHV-deposited films of the mixed phase of tetramethoxypyrene and tetracyanoquinodimethane (TMP1-TCNQ1) on gold have been studied using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS),…

Ab initio investigation of the melting line of nitrogen at high pressure

Davide Donadio, Leonardo Spanu, Ivan Duchemin +2

Understanding the behavior of molecular systems under pressure is a fundamental problem in condensed matter physics. In the case of nitrogen, the determination of the phase diagram…

Fractional Brownian motion approach to polymer translocation: the governing equation of motion

Johan L. A. Dubbeldam, V. G. Rostiashvili, A. Milchev +1

We suggest a governing equation which describes the process of polymer chain translocation through a narrow pore and reconciles the seemingly contradictory features of such dynamic…

Adsorption structures of phenol on the Si(001)-(2 \times 1) surface calculated using density functional theory

Karen Johnston, Andris Gulans, Tuukka Verho +1

Several dissociated and two non-dissociated adsorption structures of the phenol molecule on the Si(001)-(2 \times 1) surface are studied using density functional theory with variou…

Classical-path integral adaptive resolution in molecular simulation: towards a smooth quantum-classical coupling

A. B. Poma, L. Delle Site

Simulations that couple different classical molecular models in an adaptive way by changing the number of degrees of freedom on the fly, are available within reasonably consistent…

Thermal Breakage and Self-Healing of a Polymer Chain under Tensile Stress

A. Ghosh, D. I. Dimitrov, V. G. Rostiashvili +2

We consider the thermal breakage of a tethered polymer chain of discrete segments coupled by Morse potentials under constant tensile stress. The chain dynamics at the onset of frac…

The isotope-effect in the phase transition of KDP: New insights from ab initio path-integral simulations

Varadharajan Srinivasan, Roberto Car, Daniel Sebastiani

We investigate the quantum-mechanical localization of protonated and deterated isotopes in the symmetric low-barrier hydrogen-bonds of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) crystals…
