Solid like Friction of a Polymer Chain Typeset Using Revt E X
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose a simple friction model for isolated polymer chains on a solid substrate. The chains are pulled at constant velocity by one end, the other end can be trapped on the solid substrate on localised sites. We focus on the energy dissipation due to the traps. This simple model leads to non trivial friction laws, depending on the velocity and the distance between traps. Some refinements of the model such as the effect of thermal fluctuations are also reported. 61.41.+e: polymer, elastomer, and plastics. 68.45.-v: solid-fluid interfaces 81.40.Pq: friction, lubrification, and wear. 83.10.Nn: Polymer dynamics. submitted to Eur.

متن کاملInteresting Magnetic Properties of Fe 1−x Co X Si Alloys Typeset Using Revt E X
Solid solution between nonmagnetic narrow gap semiconductor FeSi and diamagnetic semi-metal CoSi gives rise to interesting metallic alloys with longrange helical magnetic ordering, for a wide range of intermediate concentration. We report various interesting magnetic properties of these alloys, including low temperature re-entrant spin-glass like behaviour and a novel inverted magnetic hysteres...
متن کاملFrom Surface to Random Criticality in Layered Planar Ising Models. Typeset Using Revt E X
A general case of a spatially nonuniform planar layered Ising model, or an equivalent quantum Ising chain, is analysed with an exact functional real space renormalization group. Various surface, finite size, quasiperiodic and random layer (McCoy-Wu) universality classes are obtained and discussed within a single theoretical framework leading to new insights into the nature of random criticality...
متن کاملChaotic Behavior in a Dynamic System Related to the Stationary Path of the Path-integral for a Brownian Particle in a Double-well Potential Typeset Using Revt E X
Considering the path-integral approach to the Brownian motion of a particle in a double-well potential, the joint probability for a possible trajectory (path) is a positive deenite functional of the path. In the practically important low temperature or low friction regime, the probability functional is found to comprise dominant contributions from the stationary paths. The corresponding dynamic...
متن کاملEffects of Nuclear Spins on the Coherent Evolution of a Phase Qubit. Typeset Using Revt E X
The role of nuclear spins in decoherence and dephasing of a solid state phase qubit is investigated. Both effects of static spin environment and spin polarization fluctuations in time are considered on the basis of non-Markovian Langevin-Bloch equations. We find conditions when coupling of a phase qubit to a bath of nuclear spins does not impair coherent evolution of the qubit.
