Molecular Dynamics simulations of rod-like polyelectrolytes
We present theoretical and numerical results on stii, linear polyelec-trolytes within the framework of the cell model. With the help of an innec-tion point criterium we discuss counterion condensation for systems with added salt. Molecular dynamics simulations of the cell model are used to show, under which circumstances the mean-eld Poisson-Boltzmann theory fails qualitatively. We present meas...
متن کاملEntropic tightening of vibrated chains.
We investigate experimentally the distribution of configurations of a ring with an elementary topological constraint, a "figure-8" twist. Using a system far from thermal equilibrium, a vibrated granular chain, we show that configurations where one loop is small and the second is large are strongly preferred. Despite the highly non-equilibrium nature of the system, our results are consistent wit...
متن کاملMultiscale simulations for suspensions of rod-like molecules
We study the Doi model for suspensions of rod–like molecules. The Doi model couples a microscopic Fokker–Planck type equation (Smoluchowski equation) to the macroscopic Stokes equation. The Smoluchowski equation describes the evolution of the distribution of the rod orientations; it comes as a drift–diffusion equation on the sphere at every point in physical space. For sufficiently high macrosc...
متن کاملThermodynamic Sampling of Molecular Conformations
Torsional-space Monte Carlo simulations of flexible molecules are usually based on the assumption that all values of dihedral angles have equal probability in the absence of atomic interactions. In the present paper it is shown that this assumption is not valid. Thermodynamic sampling using dihedral angles or other internal coordinates has to account for both the correct metric in conformationa...
متن کاملFriction coefficient of rod-like chains of spheres at very low Reynolds numbers. I. Experiment
We present a new method to measure hydrodynamic friction forces on colloidal particles at very low (ci 10~~) Reynolds numbers with high accuracy. Exploiting magnetic field induced aggregation of microcopic paramagnetic spheres into straight chains of calibrated length, we determine the anisotropic friction coefficient of the chains, with a range from one to 100 particles, by video-microscopic o...
