We simulated the crystallization and melting behavior of entangled polymer melts using molecular dynamics where each chain is subject to a force dipole acting on its ends. This mimics the deformation of chains in a flow field but represents a well-defined equilibrium system in the melt state. Under weak extension within the linear response of the chains, the mechanical work done on the system is about two orders of magnitude smaller as compared with the heat of fusion. As a consequence, thermodynamic and simple arguments following the secondary nucleation model predict only small changes of the crystalline phase. By contrast, an increase of the stem length up to a factor of two is observed in our simulations. On the other hand, the lamellar thickening induced by the external force is proportional to the increase of the entanglement length in the melt prior to crystallization as measured by the primitive path method. While the mechanical work done on the system is only a small perturbation for thermodynamics of polymer crystallization, the change of the primitive path is large. This suggests that a strong increase in the lamellar thickness induced, by external deformation, a topological rather than a thermodynamic origin.

Pedrosa et al.1 have recently used a [Formula: see text] symmetric linear invariant to study a unidimensional time-dependent [Formula: see text] symmetric harmonic oscillator with a complex time-dependent [Formula: see text] symmetric external force. We show in this comment that the normalization condition of the eigenfunctions of the invariant is not verified as claimed in Ref. 1. In order to obtain the normalization condition, we introduce a novel concept of the pseudoparity-time (pseudo-[Formula: see text]) symmetry.
