A Piston-Rotaxane with Two Potential Stripes: Force Transitions and Yield Stresses
We examine a rod piston-rotaxane system, where the positions of several mobile rings on the axle are controlled by an external force acting on one of the rings. This allows us to access the translational entropy of the rings. For a simple rotaxane molecule with an axle that has uniform ring-axle int...
