Polyelectrolytes in Multivalent Salt Solutions under the Action of DC Electric Fields
Kun-Mao Wu, Yu-Fu Wei, Pai-Yi Hsiao
We study conformational and electrophoretic properties of polyelectrolytes (PEs) in tetravalent salt solutions under the action of electric fields by means of molecular dynamics si…
Unfolding Collapsed Polyelectrolytes in Alternating-Current Electric Fields
Pai-Yi Hsiao, Yu-Fu Wei, Hsueh-Chia Chang
We investigate the unfolding of single polyelectrolyte (PE) chains collapsed by trivalent salt under the action of alternating-current (AC) electric fields through computer simulat…
Effect of chain stiffness on ion distributions around a polyelectrolyte in multivalent salt solutions
Yu-Fu Wei, Pai-Yi Hsiao
Ion distributions in dilute polyelectrolyte solutions are studied by means of Langevin dynamics simulations. We show that the distributions depend on the conformation of a chain wh…
Unfolding Polyelectrolytes in Trivalent Salt Solutions Using DC Electric Fields: A Study by Langevin Dynamics Simulations
Yu-Fu Wei, Pai-Yi Hsiao
We study the behavior of single linear polyelectrolytes condensed by trivalent salt under the action of electric fields through computer simulations. The chain is unfolded when the…
Role of chain stiffness on the conformation of single polyelectrolytes in salt solutions
Yu-Fu Wei, Pai-Yi Hsiao
Conformation of single polyelectrolytes in tetravalent salt solutions is investigated under the framework of a coarse-grained model, using Langevin dynamics simulations. The chain…
