Mixing, segregation, and collapse transitions of interacting copolymer rings
EJ Janse van Rensburg, E Orlandini, MC Tesi +1
A system of two self and mutual interacting ring polymers, close together in space, can display several competing equilibrium phases and phase transitions. Using Monte Carlo simula…
Thermodynamics of Confined Knotted Lattice Polygons
EJ Janse van Rensburg, E Orlandini, MC Tesi
A ring polymer in a confining space may exhibit at least two phases, namely an expanded (or solvent-rich phase) if its concentration is small, or a collapsed (or polymer-rich phase…
Boundary-Mediated Phases of Self-Propelled Kuramoto Particles
Francesco Arceri, Vittoria Sposini, Enzo Orlandini +1
Active agents can transfer energy to their environment through collective motion, generating accumulation patterns near confining obstacles. Here we investigate how the nature of t…
Relative knot probabilities in confined lattice polygons
EJ Janse van Rensburg, E Orlandini, MC Tesi
In this paper we examine the relative knotting probabilities in a lattice model of ring polymers confined in a cavity. The model is of a lattice knot of size in the cubic latti…
