Collapse transition of flexible homopolymers with adhesive contacts
Sid Ahmed Sabeur, Mounira Bouarkat, Friederike Schmid
The presence of ordered structures such as helices in collapsed states of polymer chains is still an open question challenging physics and biology. In this work, we present a poten…

On the existence of helical structures during the collapse of flexible homopolymers: A Wang-Landau study
Sid Ahmed Sabeur, Mounira Bouarkat, Fatima Hamdache
In this work, we report our results on the phase transition of a flexible homopolymer from a stretched chain to a compact globule. The Wang-landau method is used to study the therm…
