Polyelectrolyte Persistence Length: Attractive Effect of Counterion Correlations and Fluctuations
Gil Ariel, David Andelman
The persistence length of a single, strongly charged, stiff polyelectrolyte chain is investigated theoretically. Path integral formulation is used to obtain the effective electrost…
Thin Film Diblock Copolymers in Electric Field: Transition from Perpendicular to Parallel Lamellae
Yoav Tsori, David Andelman
We examine the alignment of thin film diblock copolymers subject to a perpendicular electric field. Two regimes are considered separately: weak segregation and strong segregation.…
General criterion for controllable conformational transitions of single and double stranded DNA
H. Diamant, D. Andelman
Chain-like macromolecules in solution, whether biological or synthetic, transform from a spatially extended conformation to a compact one upon change of temperature or solvent qual…
Diblock copolymer thin films: Parallel and perpendicular lamellar phases in the weak segregation limit
Yoav Tsori, David Andelman
We study morphologies of thin-film diblock copolymers between two flat and parallel walls. The study is restricted to the weak segregation regime below the order-disorder transitio…
Surface induced ordering in thin film diblock copolymers: tilted lamellar phases
Yoav Tsori, David Andelman
We investigate the effect of chemically patterned surfaces on the morphology of diblock copolymers below the order-disorder transition. Profiles for lamellar phases in contact with…
Ordered Morphologies of Confined Diblock Copolymers
Yoav Tsori, David Andelman
We investigate the ordered morphologies occurring in thin-films diblock copolymer. For temperatures above the order-disorder transition and for an arbitrary two-dimensional surface…
