Salari, H. (author), Eslami-Mossallam, B. (author), Nederi, S. (author), Ejtehadi, M.R. (author)Experimental data of the DNA cyclization (J-factor) at short length scales exceed the theoretical expectation based on the wormlike chain (WLC) model by several orders of magnitude. Here, we propose that asymmetric bending rigidity of the double helix in the groove direction can be responsible for extreme bendability of DNA at short length...journal article 2015

Alkemade, P.F.A. (author), Miro, H. (author), Van Veldhoven, E. (author), Maas, D.J. (author), Smith, D.A. (author), Rack, P.D. (author)The sub-nanometer beam of a helium ion microscope was used to study and optimize helium-ion beam induced deposition of PtC nanopillars with the (CH3)3Pt(CPCH3) precursor. The beam current, beam dwell time, precursor refresh time, and beam focus have been independently varied. Continuous beam exposure resulted in narrow but short pillars, while...journal article 2011

Alkemade, P.F.A. (author), Chen, P. (author), Van Veldhoven, E. (author), Maas, D. (author)An analytical model for the growth of nanopillars by helium ion-beam-induced deposition is presented and compared to experimental data. This model describes the competition between pillar growth in vertical and lateral directions. It assumes that vertical growth is induced by incident primary ions and type-1 secondary electrons, whereas lateral...journal article 2010

Brinkers, S. (author), Dietrich, H.R.C. (author), De Groote, F.H. (author), Young, I.T. (author), Rieger, B. (author)The wormlike chain model describes the micromechanics of semiflexible polymers by introducing the persistence length. We propose a method of measuring the persistence length of DNA in a controllable near-native environment. Using a dark field microscope, the projected positions of a gold nanoparticle undergoing constrained Brownian motion are...journal article 2009

Feng, X. (author), Deng, Y. (author), Blöte, H.W.J. (author)We investigate bond- and site-percolation models on several two-dimensional lattices numerically, by means of transfer-matrix calculations and Monte Carlo simulations. The lattices include the square, triangular, honeycomb kagome, and diced lattices with nearest-neighbor bonds, and the square lattice with nearest- and next-nearest-neighbor bonds...journal article 2008

Prinsen, P. (author), Pàmies, J.C. (author), Odijk, T. (author), Frenkel, D. (author)We perform Monte Carlo simulations on the hard-core attractive Yukawa system to test the optimized Baxter model that was introduced by Prinsen and Odijk [J. Chem. Phys. 121, 6525 (2004) ] to study a fluid phase of spherical particles interacting through a short-range pair potential. We compare the chemical potentials and pressures from the...journal article 2006

Van 't Hof, A. (author), De Leeuw, S.W. (author), Peters, C.J. (author)Gibbs-Duhem integration implies the numerical integration of a Clapeyron equation. To start the numerical integration, an initial coexistence point and a corresponding initial slope of the Clapeyron equation are needed. In order to apply Gibbs-Duhem integration to all kinds of systems at diverse physical conditions, one has to investigate and...journal article 2006

Kalikmanov, V.I. (author), De Leeuw, S.W. (author)We propose a self-consistent mean-field lattice-gas theory of intercalation compounds based on effective interactions between interstitials in the presence of the host atoms. In addition to short-range screened Coulomb repulsions, usually discussed in the lattice gas models, the present theory takes into account long-range effective attractions...journal article 2002

Siebbeles, L.D.A. (author), Movaghar, B. (author)Using Monte Carlo simulations we calculate the frequency dependence of the diffusive mobility of a group of carriers on a short one-dimensional chain. We allow the carriers to interact with each other through weakly screened long-range Coulomb potentials. We consider both doped systems with discrete immobile counterions and gated systems with...journal article 2000
