Elasticity of a Grafted Rod-like Filament with Fluctuating Bending Stiffness
Quite often polymers exhibit different elastic behavior depending on the statistical ensemble (Gibbs vs. Helmholtz). This is an effect of strong fluctuations. In particular, two-state polymers, which locally or globally fluctuate between two classes of microstates, can exhibit strong ensemble inequi...
