Short-range electrostatic screening in ionic liquids as inferred by direct force measurements
Benjamin Cross, Léo Garcia, Elisabeth Charlaix +1
Previous experimental reports of long-range interactions in ionic liquids (ILs) stand in contradiction with theoretical predictions and numerical simulations. To provide insights i…
Conformational properties of strictly two-dimensional equilibrium polymers
J. P. Wittmer, A. Cavallo, A. Johner
Two-dimensional monodisperse linear polymer chains are known to adopt for sufficiently large chain lengths and surface fractions compact configurations with fractal perimet…
The role of confined water in the emergence of electrostatic strong coupling as revealed by nanoseparated charged lipid layers
Swen Helstroffer, Ludovic Gardré, Giovanna Fragneto +7
This study investigates the interplay between Strong Coupling (SC) attraction and hydration repulsion in nanoconfined water between like-charged phospholipid layers. It challenges…
Dielectric permittivity of water confined in stacks of charged lipid layers: extracting profiles from molecular dynamics simulations using a modified Poisson-Boltzmann equation
Ludovic Gardré, Swen Helstroffer, Pierre Muller +4
Most organic and inorganic surfaces (e.g., glass, nucleic acids or lipid membranes) become charged in aqueous solutions. The resulting ionic distribution induces effective interact…
Spontaneous Chiral Symmetry Breaking in Polydisperse Achiral Near-Rigid Nematogens
William S. Fall, Henricus H. Wensink
Understanding chirality transfer from the molecular to the macroscopic scale poses a significant challenge in soft and biological condensed matter physics. Many nanorods of biologi…
Topological comparison of flexible and semiflexible chains in polymer melts with -chains
Maurice P. Schmitt, Sarah Wettermann, Kostas Ch. Daoulas +2
A central paradigm of polymer physics states that chains in melts behave like random walks as intra- and interchain interactions effectively cancel each other out. Likewise, -ch…
