Deformation,scattering, and birefringence of flexible polymer chains under external forces or electric fields

The effect of a tensile stress or an electric field on the conformation of a flexible polymer chain has been studied by combining theory with numerical simulation. In the presence of such external agents, the macromolecule experiences the action of two opposite forces at the chain ends. Two models are considered: the Gaussian bead-and-spring chain, and the freely jointed chain with segments of fixed length. From simulated Brownian trajectories we calculate steady-state properties of the polymer under the continuing action of the external forces. Thus, we compute the chain deformation and expansion, measured by the square radius of gyration, and analyze the influence of the external force on low-angle scattering of radiation. The effect of the link orientation in the optical anisotropy or birefringence is also analyzed. From existing theories, we predict very simple relationships between expansion, low-angle scattering, and birefringence, valid for Gaussian chains of any length, and for long freely jointed chains. The simulation results confirm those relationships. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Polym Sci B: Polym Phys, 35: 689–697, 1997     

The rank of sparse random matrices over finite fields

Let M be a random (n×n)-matrix over GF[q] such that for each entry M_ij in M and for each nonzero field element α the probability Pr[M_ij=α] is p/(q−1), where p=(log n−c)/n and c is an arbitrary but fixed positive constant. The probability for a matrix entry to be zero is 1−p. It is shown that the expected rank of M is n−𝒪(1). Furthermore, there is a constant A such that the probability that the rank is less than n−k is less than A/q^k. It is also shown that if c grows depending on n and is unbounded as n goes to infinity, then the expected difference between the rank of M and n is unbounded. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Simulations of Electric Field Induced Lamellar Alignment in Block Copolymers in the Presence of Selective Electrodes

Computer simulations have been performed for electric field induced parallel‐perpendicular lamellar phase transition in the presence of electrodes. The simulations are based on the dynamic density functional theory. Here we provide the extension of earlier work in two dimensions (2D) to three dimensions (3D). The result is a vivid picture of the transitions through defect creation and collision.

偏压电场对压电板中Lamb波相速度的影响

本文研究了偏压电场作用下,Lamb波在压电板中的传播行为，首先给出了偏压电场作用时压电板中的应力场及电位移场，然后通过求解含初应力及初电位移的小幅波动问题的耦合方程，分别给出了Lamb波的对称模态和反对称模态的相速度方程，以典型的PZT－5H压电陶瓷板为例进行了数值计算,并讨论了偏压电场对Lamb波相速度及频散曲线的影响，结果表明，偏压电场可以显著地改变Lamb波的传播速度，借此可使声波器件获得延时效果。     

Correction of Relativistic Center-of-Mass Vector on Electric Polarizability of Pion Meson

We estimate the correction of relativistic center-of-mass vector on electric polarizability of an equal-mass quark-antiquark system numerically. Effect on the system confined by different interactive potentials is analysed. A great improvement for the electric polarizability of pion meson is obtained.
