The thermodynamics of a homopolymerchain with the Lennard-Jones (LJ) potential was studied by the multicanonical Monte Carlo method. The results confirm there indeed exists a liquid–solid-like first-ordertransition at lower temperatures for a free-joint chain, revealing that the transition is a characteristic of a homopolymerchain, independent of the algorithms and potential used in simulation.
