Abstract

A simple thermodynamic theory for the open-to-closed transition based on a two-state picture was established. It describes excellently the melting curves of a hard-sphere chains with attractive ends, which were obtained by MC simulations. It was shown through MC studies that such mismatched loop conformations can significantly reduce the melting temperature.
