In this work, we consider a semi-dilute solution of identical star-polymers, made of attached flexible long polymer chains of the same polymerization degree N. We first compute the effective pair-potential between star-polymers. Such a…
Criticality in models of correlated electrons emerges in proximity of a low-temperature singularity in a two-particle Green function. Such singularities are generally related to a symmetry breaking of the one-particle self-energy. A…

This paper shows that the configurational temperature of liquid-state theory, $\Tc$, defines an energy scale, which can be used for adjusting model parameters of active Ornstein-Uhlenbeck particle (AOUP) models in order to achieve…
We used a coarse-grained model to study the geometric and dynamic properties of flexible entangled polymer chains dissolved in explicit athermal solvents. Our simulations successfully reproduced the geometrical properties including the…
The aim of this paper is to investigate the distribution of a continuous polymer in the presence of an attractive finitely supported potential. The most intricate behavior can be observed if we simultaneously and independently vary two…
