Waterlike hierarchy of anomalies in a continuous spherical shouldered potential.
We investigate by molecular dynamics simulations a continuous isotropic core-softened potential with attractive well in three dimensions, introduced by Franzese [J. Mol. Liq. 136, 267 (2007)], that displays liquid-liquid coexistence with a critical point and waterlike density anomaly. Besides the thermodynamic anomalies, here we find diffusion and structural anomalies. The anomalies, not observ...
متن کاملWaterlike anomalies for core-softened models of fluids: one dimension.
We use a one-dimensional (1D) core-softened potential to develop a physical picture for some of the anomalies present in liquid water. The core-softened potential mimics the effect of hydrogen bonding. The interest in the 1D system stems from the facts that closed-form results are possible and that the qualitative behavior in 1D is reproduced in the liquid phase for higher dimensions. We discus...
متن کاملPulling pinned polymers and unzipping DNA.
We study a class of micromanipulation experiments, exemplified by the pulling apart of the two strands of double-stranded DNA. When the pulling force is increased to a critical value, an "unzipping" transition occurs. For random DNA sequences with short-ranged correlations, we obtain exact results for the number of monomers liberated and the specific heat, including the critical behavior at the...
متن کاملCompression of hard core-soft shell nanoparticles at liquid-liquid interfaces: influence of the shell thickness.
Soft hydrogel particles show a rich structural and mechanical behaviour compared to hard particles, both in bulk and when confined in two dimensions at a fluid interface. Moreover, encapsulation into hydrogel shells makes it possible to transfer the tunability of soft steric interactions to hard nanoparticle cores, which bear interest for applications, e.g. in terms of optical, magnetic and rei...
متن کاملGauge Anomalies in an Effective Field Theory*
A four-dimensional gauge theory with anomalous fermion content can be consistently quantized, provided that at least some gauge fields are permitted to have nonvanishing masses. Such a theory is nonrenormalizable; there is a maximal value of the ultraviolet cutoff ,4. beyond which the locality of the theory breaks down. The maximal ,4 can be estimated in perturbation theory and has a qualitativ...
