Universal Negative Energetic Elasticity in Polymer Chains: Crossovers among Random, Self-Avoiding, and Neighbor-Avoiding Walks
Nobu C. Shirai, Naoyuki Sakumichi
Negative energetic elasticity in gels challenges the conventional understanding of gel elasticity; despite extensive research, a concise explanation remains elusive. In this study,…

Unified origin of negative energetic elasticity in a lattice polymer chain: soft self-repulsion and bending stiffness
Nobu C. Shirai
We study a single lattice polymer chain under a fixed end-to-end distance, incorporating both Domb--Joyce (DJ) soft-core self-repulsion between polymer segments and a local bending…
