Popis: | A melting criterion for charged semi-flexible systems is formulated by combining the Lindemann rule with the theory of undulation-enhanced interactions. The predicted Lindemann ratios are constant along the melting curves for the lamellar phase of didodecyldimethylammonium bromide and the hexagonal phase of DNA. For connected systems there appears to be an unexplained spread in the Lindemann ratios. |
