The statistical mechanics of random copolymers

CE Soteros, SG Whittington - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical …, 2004 - iopscience.iop.org
Random copolymers are polymers with two or more types of monomer where the monomer
sequence is determined by some random process. Once determined, the sequence is fixed …

Statistical mechanics of polymers subject to a force

E Orlandini, SG Whittington - Journal of Physics A: Mathematical …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
When a polymer molecule is subjected to a force (such as a tensile force) it responds and
this response gives information about the thermodynamics and structural properties of the …

The effect of disorder on polymer depinning transitions

KS Alexander - Communications in mathematical physics, 2008 - Springer
We consider a polymer, with monomer locations modeled by the trajectory of a Markov
chain, in the presence of a potential that interacts with the polymer when it visits a particular …

Pinning of polymers and interfaces by random potentials

KS Alexander, V Sidoravicius - 2006 - projecteuclid.org
We consider a polymer, with monomer locations modeled by the trajectory of a Markov
chain, in the presence of a potential that interacts with the polymer when it visits a particular …

Random copolymer adsorption onto a periodic heterogeneous surface: A partially directed walk model

AS Ivanova, AA Polotsky - Physical Review E, 2022 - APS
The adsorption of a single AB random copolymer (RC) chain onto an inhomogeneous ab
surface with a regular periodic pattern is studied theoretically. The problem is considered …

[KSIĄŻKA][B] Random Polymers: École d'Été de Probabilités de Saint-Flour XXXVII–2007

F Den Hollander - 2009 - books.google.com
Polymer chains that interact with themselves and/or with their environment are fascinating
objects, displaying a range of interesting physical and chemical phenomena. The focus in …

Natural range of Higgs masses in supersymmetry

U Ellwanger, MR de Traubenberg - Zeitschrift für Physik C Particles and …, 1992 - Springer
We calculate the masses of the Higgs scalars and the lightest chargino for a large number of
parameters of the supersymmetric standard model extended by a singlet. This allows us to …

Quantification of the differences between quenched and annealed averaging for RNA secondary structures

T Liu, R Bundschuh - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2005 - APS
The analytical study of a disordered system is usually difficult due to the necessity to perform
a quenched average over the disorder. Thus, one may resort to the easier annealed …

On constrained annealed bounds for pinning and wetting models

F Caravenna, G Giacomin - 2005 - projecteuclid.org
The free energy of quenched disordered systems is bounded above by the free energy of
the corresponding annealed system. This bound may be improved by applying the …
