Metastable Knots in Confined Semiflexible Chains

We study the size distribution of spontaneous knots on semiflexible chains confined in square cross-section channels using Monte Carlo simulations. The most probable knot size, i.e. the metastable knot size, is found to vary nonmonotonically with the channel size. In the case of weak confinement, th...
