DOI: 10.1063/1.1796233 | | Subject: | Statistical Mechanics | cond-mat.stat-mech | | Abstract: | The equilibrium thermodynamic properties of a linear polymer chain confined to a space between two impenetrable walls (lines) at a distance $D$ under various solvent conditions have been studied using series analysis and exact enumeration technique. We have calculated the end to end distance of polymer chain, which shows a non-monotonic behaviour with inter wall ^M separation $D$. The density distribution profile shows a maxima at a particular value of ${(D=)}D^*$. Around this $D^*$, our results show that the collapse^M transition occurs at higher temperature as compared to its bulk value of 2d and 3d. The variation of $ heta-$ temperature with $D$ shows a re-entrance behaviour. We also calculate the force of compression exerted by the walls (lines) on the polymer. | | Source: | arXiv, cond-mat/0406331 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
