Upsurge of spontaneous knotting in polar diblock active polymers
Marin Vatin, Enzo Orlandini, Emanuele Locatelli
Spontaneous formation of knots in long polymers at equilibrium is inevitable but becomes rare in sufficiently short chains. Here, we show that knotting and knot complexity increase…
Supercoil formation in DNA denaturation
A. Kabakcioglu, E. Orlandini, D. Mukamel
We generalize the Poland-Scheraga (PS) model to the case of a circular DNA, taking into account the twisting of the two strains around each other. Guided by recent single-molecule…
Phase Ordering in Nematic Liquid Crystals
Colin Denniston, Enzo Orlandini, J. M. Yeomans
We study the kinetics of the nematic-isotropic transition in a two-dimensional liquid crystal by using a lattice Boltzmann scheme that couples the tensor order parameter and the fl…
Lattice Boltzmann Simulations of Liquid Crystal Hydrodynamics
Colin Denniston, Enzo Orlandini, J. M. Yeomans
We describe a lattice Boltzmann algorithm to simulate liquid crystal hydrodynamics. The equations of motion are written in terms of a tensor order parameter. This allows both the i…
Adsorption-like Collapse of Diblock Copolymers
E. Orlandini, F. Seno, A. L. Stella
A linear copolymer made of two reciprocally attracting N-monomer blocks collapses to a compact phase through a novel transition, whose exponents are determined with extensive MC si…
