CALCULATION OF PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF CO-OPERATIVE ASSEMBLIES.

Abstract

The aim of this research is to study the critical behavior of systems which undergo discontinuous phase transitions. The critical behavior of the Ising Model above and below the critical temperature with an investigation of the susceptibility and its higher derivatives is reported. The specific heat of the Ising Model below the critical temperature is investigated and a representation constructed. Theoretical work on the anisotropic classical Heisenberg Model is reported. A second aim of this research is to study the configurational properties of polymer chains using the self-avoiding walk model. An evaluation of the second virial coefficient of a polymer solution is undertaken and its dependence on chain length assessed. (Author)
