Loop models with crossings

A Nahum, P Serna, AM Somoza, M Ortuño - Physical Review B—Condensed …, 2013 - APS
The universal behavior of two-dimensional loop models can change dramatically when
loops are allowed to cross. We study models with crossings both analytically and with …

Coil–globule transition in two-dimensional polymer chains in an explicit solvent

P Polanowski, A Sikorski - Soft Matter, 2023 - pubs.rsc.org
The structure of two-dimensional polymer chains in a solvent at different temperatures is still
