Effect of Chain Stiffness on Polyelectrolyte Condensation

The effect of adding tetravalent counterions to polyelectrolytes of varying stiffness is investigated by a flat histogram Monte Carlo technique that is capable of giving the free energy of the system by direct simulation. The ensemble average of the polyelectrolyte size decreases with the amount of...
