Unzipping DNA by force: thermodynamics and finite size behaviour
Rajeev Kapri, Somendra M. Bhattacharjee
We discuss the thermodynamic behaviour near the force induced unzipping transition of a double stranded DNA in two different ensembles. The Y-fork is identified as the coexisting p…

Directed polymers and Randomness
Somendra M. Bhattacharjee
The effects of two types of randomness on the behaviour of directed polymers are discussed in this chapter. The first part deals with the effect of randomness in medium so that a d…

Unzipping an adsorbed polymer in a dirty or random environment
Rajeev Kapri, Somendra M. Bhattacharjee
The phase diagram of unzipping of an adsorbed directed polymer in two dimensions in a random medium has been determined. Both the hard-wall and the soft-wall cases are considered.…
