Deviations from the mean field predictions for the phase behaviour of random copolymers melts

J. Houdayer, M. Mueller

We investigate the phase behaviour of random copolymers melts via large scale Monte Carlo simulations. We observe macrophase separation into A and B--rich phases as predicted by me…

The wormhole move: A new algorithm for polymer simulations

J. Houdayer

A new Monte Carlo move for polymer simulations is presented. The ``wormhole'' move is build out of reptation steps and allows a polymer to reptate through a hole in space; it is ab…

New mechanism of membrane fusion

M. Mueller, K. Katsov, M. Schick

We have carried out Monte Carlo simulation of the fusion of bilayers of single chain amphiphiles which show phase behavior similar to that of biological lipids. The fusion mechanis…

Recent MD Results on Supercooled Thin Polymer Films

Fathollah Varnik, Joerg Baschnagel, Kurt Binder

The dynamic and static properties of a supercooled (non-entangled) polymer melt are investigated via molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. The system is confined between two complet…

Reduction of the Glass Transition Temperature in Polymer Films: A Molecular-Dynamics Study

F. Varnik, J. Baschnagel, K. Binder

We present results of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations for a non-entangled polymer melt confined between two completely smooth and repulsive walls, interacting with inner partic…

On quantum effects near the liquid-vapor transition in helium

Martin H. Müser, Erik Luijten

The liquid-vapor transition in He-3 and He-4 is investigated by means of path-integral molecular dynamics and the quantum virial expansion. Both methods are applied to the critical…

Glassy Dynamics of Simulated Polymer Melts: Coherent Scattering and Van Hove Functions Part II: Dynamics in the alpha-Relaxation Regime

M. Aichele, J. Baschnagel

Whereas the first part of this paper dealt with the relaxation in the beta-regime, this part investigates the final (alpha) relaxation of a simulated polymer melt consisting of sho…

Glassy Dynamics of Simulated Polymer Melts: Coherent Scattering and Van Hove Correlation Functions Part I: Dynamics in the beta-Relaxation Regime

M. Aichele, J. Baschnagel

We report results of molecular-dynamics simulations of a model polymer melt consisting of short non-entangled chains in the supercooled state above the critical temperature of mode…
