A numerical technique for preserving the topology of polymer knots: The case of short-range attractive interactions
Yani Zhao, Franco Ferrari
The statistical mechanics of single polymer knots is studied using Monte Carlo simulations. The polymers are considered on a cubic lattice and their conformations are randomly chan…

Topological effects in the thermal properties of knotted polymer rings
Yani Zhao, Franco Ferrari
The topological effects on the thermal properties of several knot configurations are investigated using Monte Carlo simulations. In order to check if the topology of the knots is p…
