Abstract

The behavior of three-dimensional bond fluctuation model chains tethered on an adsorbing flat surface was simulated by the Monte Carlo method. The dependence of the number of surface contacts M on the interaction strength e and the chain length N was investigated by a finite-size scaling law M = Nϕ[a0 + a1N1/vκ + O((N1/vκ)2)] for e near the critical adsorption point ec, i.e., κ ≡ (e - ec)/ec closes to 0. The critical adsorption point was estimated to be ec = 0.93, and the exponents ϕ = 0.49 and 1/v = 0.57.
