Non-equilibrium statistical mechanics of the heat bath for two Brownian particles
Caterina De Bacco, Fulvio Baldovin, Enzo Orlandini +1
We propose a new look at the heat bath for two Brownian particles, in which the heat bath as a `system' is both perturbed and sensed by the Brownian particles. Non-local thermal fl…
Finite-size scaling in unbiased translocation dynamics
Giovanni Brandani, Fulvio Baldovin, Enzo Orlandini +1
Finite-size scaling arguments naturally lead us to introduce a coordinate-dependent diffusion coefficient in a Fokker-Planck description of the late stage dynamics of unbiased poly…
Threading Dynamics of Ring Polymers in a Gel
D. Michieletto, D. Marenduzzo, E. Orlandini +2
We perform large scale three-dimensional molecular dynamics simulations of unlinked and unknotted ring polymers diffusing through a background gel, here a three-dimensional cubic l…
Flexoelectric switching in cholesteric blue phases
A. Tiribocchi, M. E. Cates, G. Gonnella +2
We present computer simulations of the response of a flexoelectric blue phase network, either in bulk or under confinement, to an applied field. We find a transition in the bulk be…
Knotting of linear DNA in nano-slits and nano-channels: a numerical study
E. Orlandini, C. Micheletti
The amount and type of self-entanglement of DNA filaments is significantly affected by spatial confinement, which is ubiquitous in biological systems. Motivated by recent advanceme…
