The Persistence Length of Semiflexible Polymers in Lattice Monte Carlo Simulations

While applying computer simulations to study semiflexible polymers, it is a primary task to determine the persistence length that characterizes the chain stiffness. One frequently asked question concerns the relationship between persistence length and the bending constant of applied bending potentia...
