Tube Width Fluctuations in F-Actin Solutions

J. Glaser, D. Chakraborty, K. Kroy +6

We determine the statistics of the local tube width in F-actin solutions, beyond the usually reported mean value. Our experimental observations are explained by a segment fluid the…

Direct observation of the tube model in F-actin solutions

M. Romanowska, H. Hinsch, N. Kirchgessner +5

Mutual uncrossability of polymers generates topological constraints on their conformations and dynamics, which are generally described using the tube model. We imaged confinement t…

Low-Temperature Orientation Dependence of Step Stiffness on {111} Surfaces

T. J. Stasevich, Hailu Gebremariam, T. L. Einstein +3

For hexagonal nets, descriptive of {111} fcc surfaces, we derive from combinatoric arguments a simple, low-temperature formula for the orientation dependence of the surface step li…

The Effects of Next-Nearest-Neighbor Interactions on the Orientation Dependence of Step Stiffness: Reconciling Theory with Experiment for Cu(001)

T. J. Stasevich, T. L. Einstein, R. K. P. Zia +3

Within the solid-on-solid (SOS) approximation, we carry out a calculation of the orientational dependence of the step stiffness on a square lattice with nearest and next-nearest ne…

Orientation Dependence of Step Stiffness: Failure of SOS and Ising Models to Describe Experimental Data

Sabine Dieluweit, Harald Ibach, Margret Giesen +1

We have investigated the step stiffness on Cu(001) surfaces as a function of step orientation by two independent methods at several temperatures near 300 K. Both sets of data agree…

Extraction of Step-Repulsion Strengths from Terrace Width Distributions: Statistical and Analytic Considerations

Howard L. Richards, Saul D. Cohen, T. L. Einstein +1

Recently it has been recognized that the so-called generalized Wigner distribution may provide at least as good a description of terrace width distributions (TWDs) on vicinal surfa…
