Generation of mechanical force by grafted polyelectrolytes in an electric field. Application to polyelectrolyte-based nano-devices
N. V. Brilliantov, Yu. A. Budkov, C. Seidel
We analyze theoretically and by means of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations the generation of mechanical force by a polyelectrolyte (PE) chain grafted to a plane. The PE is expose…
Regimes of strong electrostatic collapse of a highly charged polyelectrolyte in a poor solvent
Anvy Moly Tom, Satyavani Vemparala, R Rajesh +1
We perform extensive molecular dynamics simulations of a highly charged flexible polyelectrolyte (PE) chain in a poor solvent for the case when the chain is in a collapsed state an…
Mechanism of chain collapse of strongly charged polyelectrolytes
Anvy Moly Tom, Satyavani Vemparala, R. Rajesh +1
We perform extensive molecular dynamics simulations of a charged polymer in a good solvent in the regime where the chain is collapsed. We analyze the dependence of the gyration rad…
Generation of mechanical force by grafted polyelectrolytes in an electric field
N. V. Brilliantov, Yu. A. Budkov, C. Seidel
We study theoretically and by means of molecular dynamics (MD) simulations the generation of mechanical force by grafted polyelectrolytes in an external electric field, which favor…
Collision of viscoelastic bodies: Rigorous derivation of dissipative force
Denis S. Goldobin, Eugeniy A. Susloparov, Anastasiya V. Pimenova +1
We report a new theory of dissipative forces acting between colliding viscoelastic bodies. The impact velocity is assumed not to be large, to avoid plastic deformations and fragmen…
Surface tension of liquids near the critical point
N. V. Brilliantov, J. M. Rubi
A simple analytical microscopic expression for the surface tension of liquids is obtained which is in a good agreement with available data of numerical experiments. We apply th…
Systematic Field-Theory for the Hard-Core One-Component Plasma
Nikolai V. Brilliantov, Vitali V. Malinin, Roland R. Netz
An accurate and systematic equation of state for the hard-core one-component plasma (HCOCP) is obtained. The result is based on the Hubbard-Schofield transformation which yields th…
Chain Collapse and Counterion Condensation in Dilute Polyelectrolyte Solutions
N. V. Brilliantov, D. V. Kuznetsov, R. Klein
A new quantitative theory for polyelectrolytes in salt free dilute solutions is developed. Depending on the electrostatic interaction strength, polyelectrolytes in solutions can un…
