Theory of chiral order in random copolymers.
Recent experiments have found that polyisocyanates composed of a mixture of opposite enantiomers follow a chiral “majority rule:” the chiral order of the copolymer, measured by optical activity, is dominated by whichever enantiomer is in the majority. We explain this majority rule theoretically by mapping the random copolymer onto the random-field Ising model. Using this model, we predict the c...
متن کاملCooperative Chiral Order in Copolymers of Chiral and Achiral Units
Polyisocyanates can be synthesized with chiral and achiral pendant groups distributed randomly along the chains. The overall chiral order, measured by optical activity, is strongly cooperative and depends sensitively on the concentration of chiral pendant groups. To explain this cooperative chiral order theoretically, we map the random copolymer onto the one-dimensional random-field Ising model...
متن کاملFluctuation Theory of Random Copolymers
We investigate trie behavior of symmetric AB random copolymer melt near trie point of microphase separation in trie framework of a one-trop (Hartree-Fock) approximation, that exactly salves trie problem. We bave shown that composition fluctuations result to complete elimination of trie microphase separation predicted in trie frarnework a mean-field approximation [1-5]. Using variational techniq...
متن کاملChiral Random Matrix Theory and Qcd
As was shown by Leutwyler and Smilga, the fact that chiral symmetry is broken and the existence of a effective finite volume partition function leads to an infinite number of sum rules for the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator in QCD. In this paper we argue these constraints, together with universality arguments from quantum chaos and universal conductance fluctuations, completely determine its...
متن کاملEffective Lagrangians and chiral random matrix theory.
Recently, sum rules were derived for the inverse eigenvalues of the Dirac operator. They were obtained in two different ways: i) starting from the low-energy effective Lagrangian and ii) starting from a random matrix theory with the symmetries of the Dirac operator. This suggests that the effective theory can be obtained directly from the random matrix theory. Previously, this was shown for thr...
