COMBINATORIAL MODELS OF POLYMERS SUBJECT TO A FORCE

We discuss partially directed walk models of polymer adsorption and focus on the adsorption/desortion process when the walk is subject to an applied force favouring desorption. We derive critical-force temperature curves for two and three dimensional models and investigate how these curves depend on...

Summary:We discuss partially directed walk models of polymer adsorption and focus on the adsorption/desortion process when the walk is subject to an applied force favouring desorption. We derive critical-force temperature curves for two and three dimensional models and investigate how these curves depend on the angle at which the force is applied. We also consider the case of a partially directed walk confined between two parallel planes, and interacting with the planes.
