Extensible links in a broad class of single polymer chain models
Michael R. Buche, Matthew J. Grasinger, Jason P. Mulderrig
The physics of polymer chains is often probed using molecular stretching experiments and various idealized single-chain models. The majority of these models consist of a discrete s…

Link length and energy fluctuations in extensible freely jointed chains
Michael R. Buche
The freely jointed chain is often applied to model the thermodynamics of single polymer chains, but the traditional formulation of the model lacks internal energy changes due to bo…

Thermodynamic fluctuations in freely jointed chains under force
Michael R. Buche, Alvin Chen
It is common to study polymer physics through the use of idealized single-chain models, and the most popular of these is the freely jointed chain model. In certain thermodynamic en…
