Overview
- Nominated by the Georg-August-University Göttingen (Germany) as an outstanding PhD thesis
- Determines the detailed balance between stiffness, conformational flexibility and inter-chain attractions for important model compounds on a molecular level
- Identifies the turning point in chain length, where alkanes prefer a folded hairpin structure instead of an extended stretched conformation
- Hence provides an important reference for experimental and theoretical studies and models, for the first time on an interaction-free single-molecule basis
- Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
