Scattering and Gaussian Fluctuation Theory for Semiflexible Polymers

The worm-like chain is one of the best theoretical models of the semiflexible polymer. The structure factor, which can be obtained by scattering experiment, characterizes the density correlation in different length scales. In the present review, the numerical method to compute the static structure f...
