Molecular simulation of nucleation in polymers
We develop several new algorithms using molecular simulation to investigate the nucleation barrier of a single, freely-jointed polymer chain. In the first part of the thesis, we use a free particle model to develop a new biasing technique, which uses an automated feedback mechanism to overcome the p...
