Unraveling looping efficiency of stochastic Cosserat polymers

Physical Review Research, 2022
Understanding looping probabilities, including the particular case of ring closure or cyclization, of fluctuating polymers (e.g., DNA) is important in many applications in molecular biology and chemistry.

Potential energy landscape formalism for quantum liquids

Physical Review Research, 2020
The potential energy landscape (PEL) formalism is a theoretical approach within statistical mechanics used extensively in the past to study classical liquids and glasses. Here, we extend the PEL formalism to the case of quantum liquids. As an example, we

Black Holes and Strings: the Polymer Link [PDF]

, 1998
Quantum aspects of black holes represent an important testing ground for a theory of quantum gravity. The recent success of string theory in reproducing the Bekenstein-Hawking black hole entropy formula provides a link between general relativity and ...

Common Physical Framework Explains Phase Behavior and Dynamics of Atomic, Molecular, and Polymeric Network Formers

Physical Review X, 2014
We show that the self-assembly of a diverse collection of building blocks can be understood within a common physical framework. These building blocks, which form periodic honeycomb networks and nonperiodic variants thereof, range in size from atoms to ...

On Abelian Multi-Chern-Simons Field Theories [PDF]

, 2003
In this paper a class of multi-Chern-Simons field theories which is relevant to the statistical mechanics of polymer systems is investigated. Motivated by the problems which one encounters in the treatment of these theories, a general procedure is ...

Effect of Silicone Oil on Dispersion and Low-Temperature Fracture Performance of Crumb Rubber Asphalt

Advances in Materials Science and Engineering, 2019
Low-temperature cracking is one of the major pavement distresses in cold regions. To reduce the prevalence of such cracks, crumb rubber modified asphalt (CRMA) has been applied for a long time.
