SPOCK*: A simple program for simulating knotted and concatenated polymer rings off-lattice
Franco Ferrari, Marcin R. Piątek
The purpose of this work is to present SPOCK*, a Monte Carlo code specifically written to investigate the thermodynamic and mechanical properties of polymers in the presence of top…
A contact map method to capture the features of knot conformations
Neda Abbasi Taklimi, Franco Ferrari, Marcin Radosław Piątek +1
Inspired by recent advances in the chromosome capture techniques, a method is proposed to study the structural organization of systems of polymers rings with topological constraint…
Self-dual solutions of a field theory model of two linked rings
Neda Abbasi Taklimi, Franco Ferrari, Marcin R. Piatek
In this work the connection established in [7, 8] between a model of two linked polymers rings with fixed Gaussian linking number forming a 4-plat and the statistical mechanics of…
Ring-o-rings: a new category of supramolecular structures with topologically tunable properties
Luca Tubiana, Franco Ferrari, Enzo Orlandini
Macrochains of topologically interlocked rings with unique physical properties have recently gained considerable interest in supramolecular chemistry, biology, and soft matter. Mos…
