Statistical mechanics of semiflexible ribbon polymers.

The statistical mechanics of a ribbon polymer made up of two semiflexible chains is studied using both analytical techniques and simulation. The system is found to have a crossover transition at some finite temperature, from one type of short-range order to a fundamentally different sort of short-ra...
