压缩晶格结点的自由能

The free energy of compressed lattice knots

EJ Janse van Rensburg

摘要:

在${\mathbb Z}^3$中,用一个约束在立方体中的打结网格多边形来模拟一个处于约束腔中的压缩的打结环聚合物。GAS算法[17]用于对限制立方体中固定结类型的晶格多边形进行采样,并估计限制晶格结的自由能。格子多边形的结类型的unknot,三叶结,和图8结,采样和自由能估计为在封闭的立方体中的单体浓度的函数。数据表明,自由能是低浓度下结类型的函数,并且(平均场)Flory-Huggins理论[12,15]用于将自由能建模为单体浓度的函数。本文还估计了${\mathbb Z}^3$中纽结格点多边形的Flory相互作用参数。

英文摘要:

A compressed knotted ring polymer in a confining cavity is modelled by a knotted lattice polygon confined in a cube in ${\mathbb Z}^3$. The GAS algorithm [17] is used to sample lattice polygons of fixed knot type in a confining cube and to estimate the free energy of confined lattice knots. Lattice polygons of knot types the unknot, the trefoil knot, and the figure eight knot, are sampled and the free energies are estimated as functions of the concentration of monomers in the confining cube. The data show that the free energy is a function of knot type at low concentrations, and (mean-field) Flory-Huggins theory [12,15] is used to model the free energy as a function of monomer concentration. The Flory interaction parameter of knotted lattice polygons in ${\mathbb Z}^3$ is also estimated.
