键涨落晶格Polymer中的相变

Phase Transition in a Bond Fluctuating Lattice Polymer

Hima Bindu Kolli, K. P. N. Murthy

摘要:

本文研究了二维正方晶格上线性均聚物的键涨落模型(BFM)中的相变。每个单体占据四个晶格位点的晶胞。晶格位置最多只能是一个单体的一部分的条件确保了自避免和模型排除体积效应。我们模拟聚合物的单体数从10到50采用玻尔兹曼和非玻尔兹曼蒙特卡罗模拟技术。为了检测和表征相变,我们已经通过能量涨落,朗道自由能分布和宾德的第四累积量研究了热容。我们研究了(1)独立聚合物,(2)存在吸引壁的聚合物和(3)限制在两个吸引壁之间的聚合物。一般来说,当我们冷却系统时,我们发现有两个转变。第一种发生在相对较高的温度下。聚合物从延伸的螺旋变成塌陷的小球构象。我们称之为崩溃过渡。我们发现这个转变是一阶的。第二个发生在较低的温度下,其中聚合物从塌陷相变成非常致密的结晶相。这种过渡也是不连续的。我们发现,在壁的存在下,塌陷转变发生在较低的温度相比,一个独立的聚合物。

英文摘要:

This report deals with phase transition in Bond Fluctuation Model (BFM) of a linear homo polymer on a two dimensional square lattice. Each monomer occupies a unit cell of four lattice sites. The condition that a lattice site can at best be a part of only one monomer ensures self avoidance and models excluded volume effect. We have simulated polymers with number of monomers ranging from 10 to 50 employing Boltzmann and non-Boltzmann Monte Carlo simulation techniques. To detect and characterize phase transition we have investigated heat capacity through energy fluctuations, Landau free energy profiles and Binder's fourth cumulant. We have investigated (1) free standing polymer (2) polymer in the presence of of an attracting wall and (3) polymer confined between two attracting walls. In general we find there are two transitions as we cool the system. The first occurs at relatively higher temperature. The polymer goes from an extended coil to a collapsed globule conformation. This we call collapse transition. We find that this transition is first order. The second occurs at a lower temperature in which the polymer goes from a collapsed phase to a very compact crystalline phase. This transition is also discontinuous. We find that in the presence of wall(s) the collapse transition occurs at lower temperature compared to a free standing polymer.
