Theory and Monte Carlo simulations for the stretching of flexible and semi-flexible single polymer chains under external fields
Fabio Manca, Stefano Giordano, Pier Luca Palla +2
Recent developments of microscopic mechanical experiments allow the manipulation of individual polymer molecules in two main ways: \textit{uniform} stretching by external forces an…
The effect of the hydrogen coverage on the Young modulus of graphene
Emiliano Cadelano, Luciano Colombo
We blend together continuum elasticity and first principles calculations to measure by a computer experiment the Young modulus of hydrogenated graphene. We provide evidence that hy…
Theory of single-molecule experiments in the overstretching force regime
Fabio Manca, Stefano Giordano, Pier Luca Palla +2
We present a statistical mechanics analysis of the finite-size elasticity of biopolymers, consisting of domains which can exhibit transitions between more than one stable state at…
