Polymer Random Walk
Self-avoiding walk polymer conformation — end-to-end distance and gyration radius
Parameters
Chain length N:
80
Self-avoiding:
ON
Ensemble size:
50

Chain length:
—
<R²>^½ (end-to-end):
—
<Rg²>^½ (gyration):
—
Flory exponent ν:
—
Expected ν (SAW):
0.588
Free walk: ν = 0.5 (R ∝ N^½)
SAW (Flory): ν ≈ 0.588 in 3D
ν = 3/(d+2) Flory theory (2D: ν=¾)
Green chain = displayed walk.
Red dot = end monomer.
Circle = gyration radius.
