Full Statistics of Conjugated Thermodynamic Ensembles in Chains of Bistable Units
The statistical mechanics and the thermodynamics of small systems are characterized by the non-equivalence of the statistical ensembles. When concerning a polymer chain or an arbitrary chain of independent units, this concept leads to different force-extension responses for the isotensional (Gibbs)...
