Polyelectrolytes in electric fields: Measuring the dynamical effective charge and effective friction
We use a coarse-grained molecular dynamics model to study the electrophoretic behaviour of flexible polyelectrolyte chains. We first characterize the static properties of the model with respect to the chain length, the polyelectrolyte concentration, additional salt and the influence of an applied external field. Next we investigate the dynamic behaviour in the oligomer range and compare to data...
متن کاملOn the effective charge of hydrophobic polyelectrolytes.
In this paper, we analyze the behavior of hydrophobic polyelectrolytes. It has been proposed that this system adopts a pearl necklace structure reminiscent of the Rayleigh instability of a charged droplet. Using a Poisson-Boltzmann approach, we calculate the counterion distribution around a given pearl, assuming the latter to be penetrable for the counterions. This allows us to calculate the ef...
متن کاملA Survey and Measuring Efficiency Level in the Country\'s Banking System, and the Effective Factors
Human being always wants to be more efficient in order to achieve more profit or welfare. In economic point of view, efficiency means optimize allocation of resources and maximize use of resources with minimum cost in a given technology. Nowadays, efficiency calculation in organizations or in different industries is a necessary step for comparing the level of competition in domestic and foreig...
متن کاملCharge Inversion Effects in Electrophoresis of Polyelectrolytes in the Presence of Multivalent Counterions and Transversal Electric Fields
By molecular dynamics simulations we investigate the transport of charged polymers in confinement, under externally applied electric fields, in straight cylinders of uniform diameter and in the presence of monovalent or multivalent counterions. The applied electric field has two components; a longitudinal component along the axis of the cylinder and a transversal component perpendicular to the ...
متن کاملUnfolding collapsed polyelectrolytes in alternating-current electric fields
We investigate the unfolding of single polyelectrolyte (PE) chains collapsed by trivalent salt under the action of alternating-current (AC) electric fields through computer simulations and theoretical scaling. The results show that a collapsed chain can be unfolded by an AC field when the field strength exceeds the direct-current (DC) threshold and the frequency is below a critical value, corre...
