Brownian Dynamics Investigations of the Scattering Functions of Ideal and Excluded Volume Linear Polymers in Higher Dimensions

Brownian Dynamics is used to investigate the scattering functions of ideal and excluded volume linear polymers in two to seven spatial dimensions. The scattering functions for ideal and excluded volume polymers examined are in agreement with theoretical predictions in all dimensions. As the dimensio...

Description
Summary:Brownian Dynamics is used to investigate the scattering functions of ideal and excluded volume linear polymers in two to seven spatial dimensions. The scattering functions for ideal and excluded volume polymers examined are in agreement with theoretical predictions in all dimensions. As the dimension is increased, the scattering functions for the excluded volume chains converge toward the ideal results. These findings indicate that excluded volume chains behave more and more as ideal ones as the dimension gets larger.
