Diffusion of a polymer in a gel is studied within the framework of de Gennes' model for reptation. Our results for the scaling of the diffusion coefficient D and the longest relaxation time tau are markedly different from the most recently…
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…
Theory and simulation of Brownian colloids suspended in an implicit solvent, with the hydrodynamics of the fluid accounted for by effective interactions between the colloids, are shown to yield a marked and hitherto unobserved discrepancy…
