Polymer Knots in Thin Films: Thickness Dependence, Local Effects, and Stiffness
Maurice P. Schmitt, Hendrik Meyer, Peter Virnau
We study how confinement affects topology and conformations in polymer films of varying thickness . The knotting probability exhibits a maximum at intermediate thicknesses near…
Effect of simple shear on knotted polymer coils and globules
Andrey Milchev, Maurice P. Schmitt, Peter Virnau
We explore the effect of Couette flow on knotted linear polymer chains with extensive Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Hydrodynamic interactions are accounted for by means of M…
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…
Skyrmion flow in periodically modulated channels
Klaus Raab, Maurice Schmitt, Maarten A. Brems +5
Magnetic skyrmions, topologically stabilized chiral magnetic textures with particle-like properties have so far primarily been studied statically. Here, we experimentally investiga…
Skyrmionic Spin Structures in Layered Fe5GeTe2 Up To Room Temperature
Maurice Schmitt, Thibaud Denneulin, András Kovács +12
The role of the crystal lattice, temperature and magnetic field for the spin structure formation in the 2D van der Waals magnet Fe5GeTe2 is a key open question. Using Lorentz trans…
