Assessment of finite size effects in simulations of ideal, non-interacting chains.
(a) Pair distribution functions computed in terms of the spatial separation between chain units. The distributions are maximal at r = L/2, where L is the size of the simulation cell for a given system. Note that L increases as the number of polymers in the system increases. With the exception of the smaller systems, the ideal chains show self-similar behavior for different system sizes. (b) The data plotted in panel (a) are re-plotted in terms of the scaled variable where Li is the size of the simulation cell for boxes with i molecules.
