Van der Waals interaction between polymers with sequence-specific polarizabilities: Stiff polymers and flexible Gaussian coils
Bing-Sui Lu, Ali Naji, Rudolf Podgornik
We consider the van der Waals interaction between a pair of polymers with quenched heterogeneous sequences of local polarizabilities along their backbones, and study the effective…
Out of equilibrium thermal Casimir effect between Brownian conducting plates
B. -S. Lu, D. S. Dean, R. Podgornik
We study the thermal fluctuation induced interactions between two surfaces containing Brownian charges which are held at different temperatures. Using a dynamical form of Debye-Hüc…
Effective interactions between fluid membranes
Bing-Sui Lu, Rudolf Podgornik
A self-consistent theory is proposed for the general problem of interacting undulating fluid membranes subject to the constraint that they do not interpenetrate. We implement the s…
Molecular recognition by van der Waals interaction between polymers with sequence-specific polarizabilities
Bing-Sui Lu, Ali Naji, Rudolf Podgornik
We analyze van der Waals interactions between two rigid polymers with sequence-specific, anisotropic polarizabilities along the polymer backbones, so that the dipole moments fluctu…
Charge Renormalization and Charge Oscillation in Asymmetric Primitive Model
Mingnan Ding, Yihao Liang, Bing-Sui Lu +1
The Debye charging method is generalized to study the linear response properties of the asymmetric primitive model for electrolytes. Analytic results are obtained for the effective…
