Statistical Behaviors of Semiflexible Polymer Chains Stretched in Rectangular Tubes
We investigated the statistical behaviors of semiflexible polymer chains, which were simultaneously subjected to force stretching and rectangular tube confinement. Based on the wormlike chain model and Odijk deflection theory, we derived a new deflection length, by using which new compact formulas w...
