Conformational transitions of flexible homopolymers

In this chapter, we will investigate collapse and freezing of a single homopolymer restricted to simple cubic (sc) and face-centered cubic (fee) lattices [137]. The polymer is modeled by an interacting self-avoiding walk (1.36), because only on this level is a 

This will be discussed in more detail in Section 6.5.
