Abstract:
Monte Carlo simulation technique has been used to investigate the static properties and
translocation characteristics of ring polymers in two dimensions. Each chain consists of
exible
linkage between monomers forming a closed loop. We consider the unbiased translocation process
of the ring where the polymer translocates purely due to thermal
uctuations. The average escape
time has been analyzed as a function of chain length N. And we found that, the polymer escape
time of the ring polymers having a length N < 100, also has a scaling behavior N where
is more closer to 1 + 2 in which is the Flory exponent of value 3/4 in 2D and 3/5 in
3D. Such scaling is also the scaling behavior of the unbiased long linear chains. We study the
static property of the small cyclical polymer chains by calculating the mean-squared radius of
gyration Rg. Bond
uctuation method (BFM) is implemented to study both characteristics of
the particular ring polymers
