32. The numerical prefactor in Eq. 11 generally depends on the number of polymers in the stack of N semiflexible polymers confined (in a plane) between hard walls at the distance w. This prefactor is 1.103 for N=1 (as found by Burkhardt in Ref.), whereas it is 0.648 for extensive smectic phase stacks with infinite N
33. [as found in L. Gao and L. Golubovic, Phys. Rev. E PLEEE8 1063-651X 10.1103/PhysRevE.66.051918 66, 051918 (2002); see the Eq. 4.1 therein].
34. For other values of N, the value of the prefactor has not been calculated thus far. However, in the present system with relatively narrow traps (and thus with only a small number of polymers that can be stored in such traps) employing the pre-factor's value as for N=1, as done on Eq. 11, is reasonable.
