Summary:Front Cover: The figure is one conformation of a semiflexible chain with 160 monomers in a cubic box with side length a=16. Due to the interaction of bending energy and the confinement, the chain forms spirals. The persistence length of this chain is about 5.4, small than the box size. Therefore these spirals are small and randomly ordered. This is reported by Jiying Jia, Kunhe Li, Andreas Hofmann, Dieter W. Heermann in the article 1800071.
