Exploring the energy landscape of model proteins: a metric criterion for the determination of dynamical connectivity
Lorenzo Bongini, Roberto Livi, Antonio Politi +1
A method to reconstruct the energy landscape of small peptides is presented with reference to a 2d off--lattice model. The starting point is a statistical analysis of the configura…
A new approach to partial synchronization in globally coupled rotators
P. K. Mohanty, Antonio Politi
We develop a formalism to analyze the behaviour of pulse--coupled identical phase oscillators with a specific attention devoted to the onset of partial synchronization. The method,…
Recoil-induced lasing
J. Javaloyes, M. Perrin, G. L. Lippi +1
The interaction of an atomic gas confined inside a cavity with a strong electromagnetic field is numerically and theoretically investigated in a regime where recoil effects are not…
Fracture precursors in disordered systems
G. Meacci, A. Politi, M. Zei
A two-dimensional lattice model with bond disorder is used to investigate the fracture behaviour under stress-controlled conditions. Although the cumulative energy of precursors do…
Thermally activated processes in polymer dynamics
Lorenzo Bongini, Roberto Livi, Alessandro Torcini +1
Jumps between neighboring minima in the energy landscape of both homopolymeric and heteropolymeric chains are numerically investigated by determining the average escape time from d…
Wetting under non-equilibrium conditions
H. Hinrichsen, R. Livi, D. Mukamel +1
We report a detailed account of the phase diagram of a recently introduced model for non-equilibrium wetting in 1+1 dimensions [Phys. Rev. Lett. 79, 2710 (1997)]. A mean field appr…
