Equilibrium phases and phase transitions in multicritical magnetic polymers
Alberto Raiola, Emanuele Locatelli, Davide Marenduzzo +1
Magnetic polymers are examples of composite soft materials in which the competition between the large configurational entropy of the soft substrate (polymer) and the magnetic inter…
Two-states Brownian particle in a Harmonic Potential
Giovanni Battista Carollo, Giuseppe Gonnella, Daniela Moretti +3
We study the behaviour of a Brownian particle in the overdamped regime in the presence of a harmonic potential, assuming its diffusion coefficient to randomly jump between two dist…
Being Heterogeneous Is Advantageous: Extreme Brownian Non-Gaussian Searches
Vittoria Sposini, Sankaran Nampoothiri, Aleksei Chechkin +3
Redundancy in biology may be explained by the need to optimize extreme searching processes, where one or few among many particles are requested to reach the target like in human fe…
Being heterogeneous is disadvantageous: Brownian non-Gaussian searches
Vittoria Sposini, Sankaran Nampoothiri, Aleksei Chechkin +3
Diffusing diffusivity models, polymers in the grand canonical ensemble and polydisperse, and continuous-time random walks all exhibit stages of non-Gaussian diffusion. Is non-Gauss…
Dynamic and Facilitated Binding of Topoisomerase Accelerates Topological Relaxation
Davide Michieletto, Yair Fosado, Elias Melas +3
How type 2 Topoisomerase (TopoII) proteins relax and simplify the topology of DNA molecules is one of the most intriguing open questions in biophysics. Most of the existing models…
Field-controlled columnar and planar patterning of cholesteric colloids
Giuseppe D'Adamo, D. Marenduzzo, C. Micheletti +1
We study how dispersions of colloidal particles in a cholesteric liquid crystal behave under a time-dependent electric field. By controlling the amplitude and shape of the applied…
Numerical study of linear and circular model DNA chains confined in a slit: metric and topological properties
C. Micheletti, E. Orlandini
Advanced Monte Carlo simulations are used to study the effect of nano-slit confinement on metric and topological properties of model DNA chains. We consider both linear and circula…
