Confined Polymers as Self-Avoiding Random Walks on Restricted Lattices

Confined Polymers as Self-Avoiding Random Walks on Restricted Lattices

Polymers in highly confined geometries can display complex morphologies including ordered phases. A basic component of a theoretical analysis of their phase behavior in confined geometries is the knowledge of the number of possible single-chain conformations compatible with the geometrical restricti...
