The entropic pressure of a lattice polygon

Statistical Mechanics 2015-06-16 v1

Abstract

The entropic pressure in the vicinity of a two dimensional square lattice polygon is examined as a model of the entropic pressure near a planar ring polymer. The scaling of the pressure as a function of distance from the polygon and length of the polygon is determined and tested numerically.
