We consider an inextensible, semiflexible polymer or worm-like chain which is confined in the transverse direction by a parabolic potential and subject to a longitudinal force at the ends, so that the polymer is stretched out and…
In this paper, we present a theory to efficiently deal with mechanical properties of heterogeneous polymer chain in free space and the central problem is to evaluate the diffusion equation and orientation-orientation correlation function,…
The wormlike chain model of stiff polymers is a nonlinear $\sigma$-model in one spacetime dimension in which the ends are fluctuating freely. This causes important differences with respect to the presently available theory which exists only…
Conventional approaches for scattering manipulations rely on the technique of field expansions into spherical harmonics (electromagnetic multipoles), which nevertheless is non-generic (expansion coefficients depend on the position of the…
Polymer models play the special role of elucidating the elementary features describing the physics of long molecules and become essential to interpret the measurements of their magnitudes. In this work the end-to-end distance of an…
We derive the stochastic equations of motion for a tracer that is tightly attached to a semiflexible polymer and confined or agitated by an externally controlled potential. The generalised Langevin equation, the power spectrum, and the…
The transport of charged particles or photons in a scattering medium can be modelled with a Boltzmann equation. The mathematical treatment for scattering in such scenarios is often simplified if evaluated in a frame where the scattering…
We show that the mechanical properties of a worm-like-chain (WLC) polymer, of contour length $L$ and persistence length $\l$ such that $t=L/\l\sim{\cal O}(1)$, depend both on the ensemble and the constraint on end-orientations. In the…
We propose a two-body spherically symmetric (isotropic) potential such that particles interacting by the potential self assemble into linear semiflexible polymeric chains without branching. By suitable control of the potential parameters we…
Bending of worm-like polymers carries an energy penalty which results in the appearance of a persistence length l such that the polymer is straight on length scales smaller than l and bends only on length scales larger than this length.…
We investigate the propagation of electromagnetic waves through a static wormhole. It is shown that the problem can be reduced to a one-dimensional Schr\"odinger-like equation with a barrier-type potential. Using numerical methods, we…
In this manuscript we study multiple scattering and diffusion of scalar wave in a group of monodisperse spheroidal particles with random orientations. We begin by fixing a spheroid in a prolate spheroidal coordinate system, and attain the…
In this paper, we present a new approach to the discrete version of the Wormlike Chain Model (WCM) of semiflexible polymers. Our solution to the model is based on a new computational technique called the Generalized Borel Transform (GBT)…
We present a perturbative approach to disordered systems in one spatial dimension that accesses the full range of phase disorder and clarifies the connection between localization and phase information. We consider a long chain of…
We demonstrate that a semiflexible bundle of wormlike chains exhibits a state-dependent bending stiffness that alters fundamentally its scaling behavior with respect to the standard wormlike chain. We explore the equilibrium conformational…
We prove to all orders of renormalized perturbative polymer field theory the existence of a short chain expansion applying to polymer solutions of long and short chains. For a general polymer network with long and short chains we show…
The present paper investigates the extension behavior of a wormlike chain with varied persistence length under the confinement of a cylindrical tube. Based on Odijk theory of a confined polymer chain, we have developed a theory which can…
In the Euclidean-space formulation of integral equations for the structure of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) bound states, the quark propagators with complex-valued momentum are densely sampled. We therefore propose an accurate and efficient…
