Abstract
The configurational energies, the characteristic ratio and the temperature coefficient for a polysilane chain with the third-order interaction are calculated. The characteristic ratios (〈 R 2〉/ nl 2) ∞ and (〈 S 2〉 0/ nl 2) ∞ are 3.57 and 0.575, respectively, and the temperature coefficient is −3.0 × 10 −3 deg −1. These results are less than those in the second-order interaction approximation. The third-order interaction approximation are useful for calculating the dimensions of polymer chains.
