= Consider a one-dimensional chain made up of localized sites N>>1. Each site is occupied by a polymer with two energy states: it can be straight (with energy E 0) or it can be bent (to the right or to the left) with energy E = >0, regardless of the deflection direction (bent to the right or to the left). Calculate the entropy of the system, S (E, N), for a fixed total bending energy E = mɛ (m is an integer such that m >>1). Also, determine the internal energy as a function of temperature and the resulting heat capacity, CN = (F)N, under the assumption that (N − m)» 1. Finally, determine the behavior of the internal energy in the limit of low and high temperatures. -
