Geometrical Folding Transitions of the Triangular Lattice in the Face - Centred Cubic Lattice
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the folding of the regular two-dimensional triangular lattice embedded in the regular three-dimensional Face-Centred Cubic lattice, a discrete model for the crumpling of membranes. Possible folds are complete planar folds, folds with the angle of a regular tetrahedron (71 •) or with that of a regular octahedron (109 •). We study this model in the presence of a negative bending rigidity K, which favours the folding process. We use both a cluster variation method (CVM) approximation and a transfer matrix approach. The system is shown to undergo two separate geometrical transitions with increasing |K|: a first discontinuous transition separates a phase where the triangular lattice is preferentially wrapped around octahedra from a phase where it is preferentially wrapped around tetrahedra. A second continuous transition separates this latter phase from a phase of complete folding of the lattice on top of a single triangle.

Magnetic Properties and Phase Transitions in a Spin-1 Random Transverse Ising Model on Simple Cubic Lattice
Within the effective-field theory with correlations (EFT), a transverse random field spin-1 Ising model on the simple cubic (z=6) lattice is studied. The phase diagrams, the behavior of critical points, transverse magnetization, internal energy, magnetic specific heat are obtained numerically and discussed for different values of p the concentration of the random transverse field.
متن کاملDeformation-induced structural transition in body-centred cubic molybdenum
Molybdenum is a refractory metal that is stable in a body-centred cubic structure at all temperatures before melting. Plastic deformation via structural transitions has never been reported for pure molybdenum, while transformation coupled with plasticity is well known for many alloys and ceramics. Here we demonstrate a structural transformation accompanied by shear deformation from an original ...
متن کاملProtein Folding in the Generalized Hydrophobic-Polar Model on the Triangular Lattice
We consider the problem of determining the three-dimensional folding of a protein given its one-dimensional amino acid sequence. The model we use is based on the Hydrophobic-Polar (HP) model [2] on cubic lattices in which the goal is to find the fold with the maximum number of contacts between non-covalently linked hydrophobic amino acids. Hart and Istrail [5] give a 3/8 approximation algorithm...
متن کاملProtein Folding as a Random Walk
Large numbers of native-fitting and random-coil conformations of a small protein, pancreatic trypsin inhibitor, have been generated as self-avoiding random walks on a face-centred cubic lattice. Randomcoil conformations similar to the native X-ray conformation occur frequently enough to suggest that well-defined kinetic pathways for protein folding are not as necessary as is usually thought.
