Overcrowding drives the unjamming transition of gap-free monolayers
Collective cell motility plays central roles in various biological phenomena such as inflammatory response, wound healing, cancer metastasis and embryogenesis. These are biological demonstrations of the unjamming transition. However, contradictory to the typical density-driven jamming processes in particulate assemblies, cellular systems often get unjammed in highly packed, sometimes overcrowdi...
متن کاملVibrations and diverging length scales near the unjamming transition.
We numerically study the vibrations of jammed packings of particles interacting with finite-range, repulsive potentials at zero temperature. As the packing fraction phi is lowered towards the onset of unjamming at phi(c), the density of vibrational states approaches a nonzero value in the limit of zero frequency. For phi >phi(c), there is a crossover frequency, omega* below which the density of...
متن کاملStiffness of polymer chains
A formula is derived for stiffness of a polymer chain in terms of the distribution function of end-to-end vectors. This relationship is applied to calculate the stiffness of Gaussian chains (neutral and carrying electric charges at the ends), chains modeled as self-avoiding random walks, as well as semi-flexible (worm-like and Dirac) chains. The effects of persistence length and Bjerrum’s lengt...
متن کاملAdsorption of polydisperse polymer chains
The adsorption of polydisperse ideal polymer chains is shown to be sensitive to the large N tail of the distribution of chains. If and only if the number of chains decays more slowly than exponentially then there is an adsorption transition like that of monodisperse infinite chains. If the number decays exponentially the adsorption density diverges continuously at a temperature which is a funct...
متن کاملFast simulation of polymer chains.
We propose an algorithm for the fast and efficient simulation of polymers represented by chains of hard spheres. The particles are linked by holonomic bond constraints. While the motion of the polymers is free (i.e., no collisions occur) the equations of motion can be easily integrated using a collocation-based partitioned Gauss-Runge-Kutta method. The method is reversible, symplectic, and pres...
